Mona L. July 08, 2011 for Model Number MGD6200AWW Maytag dryer My dryer stopped heating, I took the front cover off and the ignitor works and the flame starting and it was working. Then after a time it stops, and later when I turn it on it works again. I just replaced the burner assembly and it still does the same thing. What else could it be. I have no blockage in the vent, the gas just shuts off.
1 Answer Hello Mona. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the coils 279834 are bad and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More...
Timothy B. June 25, 2011 for Model Number ? maytag gas dryer When I turn on my dryer, the ignitor glows and ignites the flame. After about 45 seconds the flame will go out . The flame looks good with yellow tip and blue flame. I took the high temperature thermostat off the burner tube and tested it. I let it hang out of the front of the dryer to stay cool. After about 30-40 seconds the glow comes back and ignites flame over and over, what's up?
1 Answer Hi Timothy. It sounds like your coils are weak if your dryer is a bit older also. That part # is 279834.It sounds like the venting system is clogged or kinked. You will need to check the vent and clean it out. Be sure and clean the vent pipe and the dryer air duct assembly. If the air flow is not good, the unit will retain moist air causing the clothes not to dry. Try running the unit with the vent unhooked from the back of the dryer and see if the dryer works properly. Hope this helps. Read More...

Scott June 15, 2011 for Model Number LGR7646EQ0 I pulled the wires off my old flame sensor a few days ago to check the ohms and order a new part. I got my new part today and unfortunately I forgot to mark which wires went on which leads. I have a blue wire and a white wire which both have the same size electrical connectors. Can you tell me which wire goes on the flame sensor lead with the red dot on top?
1 Answer Hello Scott. According to the wiring diagram, the blue wire goes on the terminal with the red dot. Hope this helps. Read More...
Tulsatrails June 07, 2011 for Model Number MLG2000AWW Gas dryer lights the burner a few times, then fails to light. Igniter glows but as soon as the igniter gets power, the coils start to chatter. Vent has just been cleaned, coils read correct resistance when cold (haven't tried hot) and flame sensor is closed (when cold). Trying to figure out what causes the coils to start chattering (bad coils or bad flame sensor or something else)?

Mike May 31, 2011 for Model Number Maytag Performa-pyg2300aww Push start button, tumbles and heats up fine. Open door to check dryness, close door, push start, tumbles, gas valve clicks on but does not lite. Dryer and exhaust fill with unburned natural gas. Is there a test for the flame sensor or is it a gas valve problem? Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Mike. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the igniter WP31001556 is weak and will need to be replaced. You can test the flame sensor for continuity. It should read closed. 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...
Brownie May 30, 2011 for Model Number RGS7648KQ1 I can hear the dryer try to lite while it is in cycle but it does not lite. I checked the OHM for the igniter and it read 52.3. I also checked the resistance on the flame sensor and it read 0.2 ohms. Do you have a suggestion on what it might be? Also can I run the dryer without the drum in it so I can see what is trying to lite?
1 Answer Hello Brownie! You can run the dryer without the drum in it. You will need to bypass the door switch and be very careful, this dangerous. Thanks. Read More...
Di May 28, 2011 for Model Number LGR4634JT3 My gas dryer has no heat. I notice to that is is spinning but also won't shut off automatically now, will just go on indefinitely spinning unless I stop it?
1 Answer Hello. You will first want to verify the ignitor is glowing a bright red almost white glow. If the ignitor is not pulling the correct amperage to satisfy the gas valve to open. If the ignitor is okay, then you might have a bad set of coil's 279834. These first two suggestions are the most common failures to cause a no heat with your unit. Hope this helps! Read More...
Frank May 27, 2011 for Model Number sdg4606aww I'm getting no flame but plenty of tumble. I replaced the coils, still no flame. The ignitor lites up for a minute then shuts downs, then relites again. But the burner never kicks in. How can I test the flame scensor? Frank
1 Answer Hello Frank. The flame sensor WP338906 should read closed for continuity. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter.

Bill C. May 27, 2011 for Model Number MDG3600BWW The Igniter is intermitting, replaced with new Igniter same thing Intermitting. When it glows gas valve opens and gas ignites. When I shut it down and try to start dryer, Igniter may or not glow. Gas does not flow when igniter does not glow.
1 Answer Hello Bill. Check and make sure there are no loose wires. If all is good and tight, the flame sensor WP338906 may be bad. Hope this helps. Read More...
