Tom March 21, 2015 for Model Number LDG7400AAW I need the gas valve for the LDG7400AAW Maytag dryer. My question is, does this valve come outfitted with LP Gas jetting or Natural gas.
Caleb N. January 19, 2015 for Model Number maytage dryer dg303 Hi, the dyer igniter starts and the flame comes on and warms up for about 30 seconds and then shuts off and comes on 30 seconds again and goes off repeatedly. whats going on?
1 Answer Caleb, The first check to make is at the exhaust vent pipe and hood, A clogged vent system can cause the dryer to overheat and cycle the hi limit switch in a very short time period. Also remove the lint filter and remove any lint that has accumulated in the duct. If the burner cycles off in 30 seconds with the vent disconnected from the dryer, you'll need to check or replace the thermostat(s) WPY304475 or WP303395 Read More...
Gerardo September 18, 2014 for Model Number MLG2000WAA I have a maytag MLG2000WAA, the igniter make the flame turns on at the begining, but after this when the igniter turns on I can hear like a intent to open the gas valve, but it is not posible. Turn off the dryer and after some minutes make the same cycle.
1 Answer Hello Gerardo. It sounds like the coils 279834 are bad and will need to be replaced. Read More...
Jim July 19, 2014 for Model Number MDG2500BWW I have MDG2500BWW gas dryer that is heating erratically. Ignitor cycles and glows, but often flame will not start. When this happens, there is a smell of natural gas out the vent. Have replaced ignitor and valve coils (all read proper resistances). In checking cables to coils, two prong coil cycles between 0.4V when ignitor glows, to 120V when ignitor turns off. So the coil should be energized when ignitor goes off. For three prong coil, read same voltage center ground to one outside prong, and read 118V to 120V to the other outside prong. Starting to suspect gas valve (utility work recently done on our street), maybe weak flow or valves not fully opening. Any way to check/clean? suggestions? Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Jim, This is either going to be the ignitor 4391996 breaking down or a coil 279834 almost out of tolerance. Read More...
Ron July 18, 2014 for Model Number MDG2500BWW Air path clear. Continuity on hi-temp and flame sensor. With front panel off, igniter glows, gas flows and flame last about 10 seconds. Igniter then fades and flame goes out. Strong gas smell from unit afterward. Have replaced coils and igniter but same result. Is it possible that gas valve is not closing completely?? Suggestions?
1 Answer Ron, Yes it is possible for the gas valve to have a leak and produce a gas odor. Fortunately, it's not a common occurrence. There could be debris or moisture in the valve body keeping the diaphragms from closing completely, the diaphragms could have developed a pin hole , and several other possibilities. With the power removed and the gas supply line open, you can use a soapy. bubbly solution and check for gas leaks around the solenoids, gas line connector on the valve, and from the burner orifice.

Patrice M. May 19, 2014 for Model Number FGX831CS1 How do you convert the Frigidaire FGX831CS1 to propane?
1 Answer Patrice, to convert the dryer to LP you'll need conversion kit part number PCK3100. Thanks! Read More...
William March 11, 2014 for Model Number MGD9026AWW I have a maytag dryer, the flame turns on for around 10 mins. then goes off and doesn't come back on until you shut the unit down and turn it back on. I've replaced: flame sensor, hi limit therm. , cycling therm., coils, ignitor and thermal fuse.
1 Answer William, At this point, would have to suspect that you're loosing the neutral leg of the heat circuit through the motor centrifugal switch or wires. When the dryer is running, the motor switch heat circuit (blue and black wires) closes and complete the circuit to the neutral leg of the dryer cord. if the switch circuit opens, or if the blue or black wire have a loose or frayed connection the circuit "opens" and there'd be no power through the gas valve, and there'd be no ignition or heat.

Nick February 20, 2014 for Model Number maytag mdg9316aww My gas maytag dryer will not heat, the ignite lights and stays on for about 10 to 15 seconds, then i hear a click and it goes out tried replacing the coils with same result. I've tested flame sensor, cycling thermostat, high limit thermostat, and thermal fuse with all of them checking out good. Any idea's?
1 Answer Nick, With the flame sensor, igniter, cycling thermostat, high limit and thermal fuse checking ok and the gas coils being replaced then the issue will be in the gas valve WP306176. Read More...
Mike January 09, 2014 for Model Number MDG6000BWW I have a Maytag dryer. I am smelling a gas odor when dryer runs. I am not sure which part might cause this problem.
1 Answer Hello Mike. You need to check and see if the igniter is weak and replace it if needed. Also, check for gas leaks at the gas valve assembly on the unit. Read More...
Kerry August 02, 2013 for Model Number LDG9806AAM Dryer model LDG9806AAM won't heat up very much. Now I have the dryer door and front panel off. The dryer ignites the burner, but the burner only stays on 6 seconds then goes out for about 30 seconds the goes on again for only 6 seconds....repeats. Burner never burns for more then 6 seconds. Already tested all the thermostats and compared them to another working dryer I have which is model MDG4000AWW. What next? Thanks for your help!!
1 Answer Hello Kerry. Check the venting system and make sure the blower wheel is not clogged. If it is good, you may have bad coils causing the short cycle. Read More...
