Rene December 29, 2021 for Model Number rwicha@hotmail.com What color should the flames be when the heat kicks on? Mine are orange/blue and I wondered if the burner needed to be cleaned or repaired after so many years? Does carbon build up in the burner?
1 Answer Rene, We will need a model number to properly assist with your question. Please resubmit your question with the model number. Read More...
Frank August 08, 2017 for Model Number MGDC400VW GAS DRYER CENTENIAL Just bought and installed burner ignitor kit 279311. Still no heat. When I look in small access hole, I see no flame? What should I check?
1 Answer Hello Frank, The components in the circuit are the timer, the high limit thermostat, the thermal cutout, the operating thermostat, the thermal fuse, the gas coils, the ignitor, the flame sensor, and the wiring harness. Each of these should be tested to determine the cause of the circuits' failure. The most common of these to fail is the ignitor. If it glows red or orange, it is breaking down and not pulling enough current to open the gas valve. Ikt should glow yellow to white hot. Read More...
Quasi Moto March 10, 2016 for Model Number WGD5600SQ0 Second question: Tested all switches, replaced igniter and coils but still no flame? Could this be a gas valve? any test to be certain? Converted dryer to PG from NG. Worked fine on NG? Igniter flame will glow briefly then goes out. Had two service people look at it, each had a different opinion?
1 Answer Quasi, You will want to make sure that when the conversion was made that the blocking pin for natural gas. This should correct the issue. Read More...
Quasi Moto February 04, 2016 for Model Number WGD5600SQ0 Converted dryer to LP from NG. Igniter will glow bright orange and shut down after brief period. no flame. Replaced coils and igniter still not fame? Tested coils and Ohm readings good. What next?
1 Answer Quasi Moto, You will want to test the flame sensor to make sure that is closed for resistance. This could be a bad flame sensor that is not allowing the unit to turn the gas on to start the flame. Read More...
Carol October 19, 2015 for Model Number MGD5570TQ0 Dry comes on and runs fine, at first there is heat like normal but then after a few minutes stops heating. How can I find out which part needs to be replaced?
1 Answer Hello Carol. You will need to test the thermostats and the flame sensor and make sure they are good. They should read closed for continuity. Also, check the igniter to see if it is good. If it is not glowing, test for power. Also, make sure the gas coils are good on the unit. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter for the testing procedures. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Bill June 25, 2015 for Model Number 110.72602100 I replaced the ignighter and the coils. Glow comes on and dryer tries to start but no flame. Could the orifice be plugged? Seems like the solenoids are opening. Dryer worked before moving it next door. Could it possibly be anything else?
1 Answer Hello Bill. You need to check and make sure the gas is turned on. Also, if so, and not gas flows, you will need to replace the gas valve on the unit. Read More...
Ray October 22, 2014 I have a maytag gas dryer. When using we get a smell of unburned gas in the laundry room and where the vent exits the house. this happens off and on. sometimes the clothes dry and other times only semi dry. Could it be that the coils that are bad or the valve itself? Valve assembley no.=8318272
1 Answer Hello Ray. Yes, it could be the gas valve on the unit. Check with some leak tester and see if the gas valve is leaking. If so, replace the valve on the unit. Read More...
Bart October 01, 2014 for Model Number lgc9000pw0 My dryer will start with heat. I see flames but after a while can not get heat and or flames. Checked coils they and continuity it looked fine. But did not check to see how good the continuity was. But since we start out with flames can the coils still be bad. Or what do you think is the problem is.
1 Answer Hello Bart. Yes, the coils can still be bad and based on the information you provided, it sounds like the coils 279834 need to be replaced. Read More...
