Bk September 12, 2011 for Model Number 10176812695 Kenmore gas dryer not staying hot replaced. I have replaced the igniter and thermnal fuse.
1 Answer Hello BK! If the dryer starts to heat but does not maintain the heat it is more than likely the secondary valve. You will need to replace both valves as a kit. Your part number is 279834. Thanks! Read More...

John C. September 02, 2011 for Model Number Meytag Centenial Model # MGDC 400VWO Hi, the drier runs fine, but it does not heat up.
1 Answer Hello John. You will need to test the thermal fuses W11050897 and the flame sensor WP338906 and make sure they are good. They should read closed for continuity. Also, check the igniter 279311 and make sure it is getting hot enough to light the gas. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter for the testing procedures. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Chewy R. August 21, 2011 for Model Number 110.72202101 I have a kenmore dryer that I have noticed that when we turn it on, the clothes will not dry. It works fine, runs fine, but just will not heat up.
1 Answer Hi Chewy. The most common issue when a gas dryer is not working is the need to change igniter part # 279311. Igniters will get weak and open so you will not pull amperage to allow the gas valve to open. Thank you. Read More...
Andrew August 19, 2011 for Model Number LSG7304AAE Dryer would not heat. Element would glow orange but no gas. Replaced coils as suggested. Now element glows, flame burns for about 10 seconds, igniter dims and the flame goes out. I have no blockage. Checked flame sensor and it has continuity. Now what ?
1 Answer Hi Andrew. At this point I will suggest 2 parts. The Igniter is the first part that weak en's and may open under flame shutting the gas flow. This part # is 4391996. The flame senser is mounted on the lt. side of the heater can. It is normally closed and opens the coil under normal temperature cycling. This part # is WP338906. This will solve the issues you have. Thank you. Read More...
Diana August 15, 2011 for Model Number LGR4634JQ2 I have a whirlpool dryer. It starts fine at first but then it doesn't fire up again to keep it hot to dry the cloths? Should I shut off the gas when checking the problem or repairing them?
1 Answer Hello Diana. Yes, you will want to shut off the gas. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the coils 279834 are bad and needs to be replaced. Check the coils 279834 and see if they test good. You can test the coils using a multi-meter MA-DM1. The two prong coil will read 1,000-1,300 ohms, and the three prong coil will read 1,300-1,400 ohms across prongs 1&2, and 500-600 ohms across prongs 1&3. Test the after running the dryer for about 10 minutes. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Ken August 09, 2011 for Model Number MDG3000AWW GFCI breaker trips when dryer is started. I replaced the receptacle , still trips. Sometimes instantly other times within 10 sec. Sometimes it will run just fine . Could this be a bad Flame Sensor? It will not trip breaker if wires are removed from Flame Sensor. As soon as wire are put back on and dryer turned on it TRIPS . I checked the whole dryer for a wire grounding out somewhere. Nothing found .
1 Answer Hi Ken. Yes, in this case you will need to replace both parts. Flame senser part # WP338906. The high limit thermostat is mounted opposite of the heater can. This part is part # WP303395. It will give an audible click and cycle irregular also. Thank you. Read More...

Mike L. August 01, 2011 for Model Number LDG9304AAM I have a Maytag gas dryer. I have replaced the thermal fuse, cycling thermostat, ignitor and coils. I am still not getting any glow to the ignitor. The tumbler is spinning but I am not getting any heat at all. Any ideas of what else the problem could be? Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Mike. Have you tested the high limit thermostat WP303395? If it is open, it will cause the igniter not to work. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps.http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Sussan July 13, 2011 for Model Number mdg9700awm Dryer starts heating and then stops. Igniter glows and starts burning, seconds later it stops burning. I cleaned out vent and all parts. Dryer was working fine. This started after I cleaned out and changed rollers.
1 Answer Hello Sussan. You will need to check and make sure none of the wires inside the dry got unplugged while you were cleaning it and replacing the rollers. If they are good, you can test the flame sensor WP338906 It should read closed for continuity. If it is open, you will need to replace the flame sensor. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter.
