1 Answer Hello Paul. You need to test for 120 volts to the ignitor. If it is there and the unit does not glow, you will need to replace the ignitor. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Rich September 21, 2015 for Model Number LG7081XSW1 Heating cycle starts and flames out the flame will keep trying to restart and sometimes does and goes out. I have changed the 2 gas coils what would be the next part to check. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Rich. Make sure the vent is good on the unit. If so, you will need to replace the gas valve on the unit. Read More...
Susan August 29, 2015 for Model Number LGR5600HQ0 I just replaced my igniter for my gas dryer which I ordered from you and installed according to the video. However, it appears it is still not lighting.
1 Answer Hello Susan, If the ignitor was not damaged during installation, you will need to check the radiant sensor WP338906, and the coils 279834 on the gas valve. The most likely cause of the issue is the thermal fuse WP3392519. If this is the issue, you will need to make sure there are no clogs or crimps in the exhaust duct to prevent the part from failing again since the heat held in the cabinet of the unit will cause this parts failure again, sometimes during the very first cycle run after the repair.

Pablo June 28, 2015 for Model Number KGYL405WWHO Hi, I have a dryer that blows cold air. I had replaced the igniter since it was broken in pieces, to no avail. Then I replaced the coils and did not help either. I checked the voltage to the leads that feeds the coils: 117vac. Will you lead me to the next step? I enjoy doing my own repairs and learning from my mistakes.Thank you
1 Answer Pablo, You will want to check the flame sensor for continuity at room temperature. If there is continuity then the most likely cause for the unit to not heat would be a bad gas valve. It would be most likely that the valve is just not opening to allow the gas to come on and light. Read More...
Brian June 24, 2015 for Model Number 11072722101 Dryer flame comes on for 2 or 3 minutes then goes out. I replaced coil valves same thing. Could it be flame sensor is bad? If igniter was bad flame wouldn't come on at all right?
1 Answer Hello Brain. It is normal for the flame to turn on and off every 2 to 3 minutes. This regulates the temp in the dryer. If the flame stayed on, the dryer would catch on fire. Read More...
Joe B June 02, 2015 No heat on gas dryer. Can I bypass thermal fuse by connecting leads temporarily to see if igniter will light.
1 Answer Joe, For testing purposes if the thermal fuse is bad, yes you would be able to jump the thermal fuse wires to test but do not leave set up like that. Read More...
Paul April 28, 2015 for Model Number wgd4800xq0 Sometimes the dryer has heat and other times It doesn't. I replaced the thermostat What is my next step?
1 Answer Hello Paul. You need to check the coils 279834 on the unit. If they are bad, it will cause this issue. Read More...
Lyn December 30, 2014 for Model Number RGD4440VQ1 My dryer only heats up for a few seconds then the flame turns off when I watch through the spot in the front. It won't ignite at ill in timed mode.
1 Answer Hello Lyn. It sounds like the gas valve coils 279834 are bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. If the igniter does not glow any more through the cycle, you will need to test the thermal cut outs as well in the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Rick October 14, 2014 for Model Number NGD5400TQ0 Burner will show a flame for 20 or 30 seconds then go out, after a while it will come on again and do the same thing. Is there a way to check the flame sensor?
1 Answer Hello Rick. Yes, you can check it for continuity. It should read closed, then it opens when the igniter gets it warm enough. Read More...
Del June 13, 2014 for Model Number wgd9200sqo My gas dryer is not heating up. I checked the igniter and it does not glow.
1 Answer Hello Del. You will need to test the thermostats and the flame sensor and make sure they are good. They should read closed for continuity. Also, check the igniter to see if it is good. If it is not glowing, test for power. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter for the testing procedures. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
