Randy February 29, 2016 for Model Number kenmore 110.76862501 Nat Gas Hello folks. I have the Kenmore 80 series gas dryer and it does not heat. I get the glow of the igniter but I never get a flame. I do not hear the solenoids kick in. I have read many of the posts out there and solutions. I have the schematic and have done the checks with a DVM that I can. All looks good. So I obtained the valve solenoid kit and installed them this evening. Nothing changed. igniter glow but NO flame. Would the flame sensor be intermittant or am I chasing tail? Is there something else for me to look for? I am afraid that a bad gas valve is next on the list.. Not sure this is worth it. Any thoughts appreciated. I love A.P.P Thanks Randy
1 Answer Hello Randy. Check to see if the igniotr cycles on and off. If not, its not getting hot enough and you will need to replace the ignitor. If so, then it sounds like the gas valve has failed on the unit. Read More...
Charlie January 27, 2016 for Model Number LGQ8858HQ1 On my dryer, on the flame sensor, the blue and white wires were reversed. The blue wire is on the right (and lower terminal) and the white wire is on the left (and higher terminal). The video shows them the other way and the narrator/installer mentions it. I took a photo of it if you want to see it. Does it matter? Which way should I reconnect the wires on the new sensor? My thinking is that the sensor is a resistor of some sort, so it shouldn't matter, but maybe it is a different type of device. Thank you for your time.
Greg January 03, 2016 for Model Number LGN1000PQ1 I suspect my Whirlpool gas dryer is leaking gas. How do you fix? Thank you.
1 Answer Hello Greg. You will need to use some gas leak detector to locate the leak on the unit. The repair/replace the part that is leaking. Read More...
Frank S. November 05, 2015 for Model Number WGD4800XQ1 The dryer runs fine, except no heat. I replaced the thermal fuse, igniter and the thermostat. Still no heat. Any suggestions?
1 Answer Frank, Remove the 1X1 inch plastic cover of the inspection opening in the front panel, Once the dryer has run a few minutes, look in the opening and observe if the igniter is cycling off and on. If it is, the flame switch is OK, if not check the flame switch for a "closed" circuit at room temperature. With the work you've done already, you'll most likely need the WPW10328463 gas valve coil assembly. Read More...
Dave K August 02, 2015 I had a short cycling issue with the dryer ignition so I ordered and replaced the recommended gas valve coils. Now the dryer goes through the ignition cycle and the igniter glows for ignition but then the cycle ends without flame ignition. The igniter shuts off and will not retry until you start another cycle. Is this the gas valve itself or the igniter control?
1 Answer Dave, To properly assist we would need to have the model number of your unit but based on the description of the issue it does sound like the gas valve would be the issue. Read More...
Jeremy May 23, 2015 for Model Number LGB6400LW0 First time you turn it on the flame with stay lit for about a minute then it turns off for a minute and then after that the flame will only turn on for 16 seconds at a time. Clothes do not get dried. I replaced the coils. Any ideas what it could be?
1 Answer Hello John, Most units will have a small sight window to verify ignitor operation and/or burner flame. You would need to post the model number for more detailed information. Read More...
Joe May 05, 2015 for Model Number Kenmore Gas Dryer – Model: 77832791 – 77832 The flame stays on for 10 seconds and then goes out. I have changed the Solenoid Coils and the flame will light, but still goes out after 10 seconds. Then, a minute or two later the ignitor glows again and the flame starts, then, goes out after 10 seconds. I also ran the Dryer with the vent system disconnected. Cleaned the vent system reconnected it and still the flame goes out after 10 seconds.Any ideas..?? What do you suggest I try next? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Joe, You will need to order and install the coils 279834 on the gas valve. If this does not correct the issue, the gas valve will have to be replaced. Read More...
Attila May 05, 2015 for Model Number DLG2302W Hi I have this LG dryer where I can smell gas from the pipe going outside the house. I am wondering is it a cycling thermostat when is turning on and off some gas may come out or maybe a flame sensor doesn't work properly. It doesn't do it all the time but here and there. Please let me know . Thanks Attila
1 Answer Attila, This issue would not be caused by a faulty cycling thermostat but would be more likely a faulty gas valve on the unit. Read More...
Al M. April 16, 2015 for Model Number MDG7657AWW My dryer does not heat up but I also notice that the Timer control knob does not move either?
