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?
1 Answer Kathy, You will want to check the flame sensor for continuity at room temp, if no continuity replace the flame sensor. If the flame sensor checks ok then the most likely issue would be the gas coils. Read More...
Jim April 01, 2015 for Model Number MGD9700SQ0 Is it possible that the flame sensor is stuck open allowing gas to flow even when the dryer is off?
