Speedqueen 489P3 Thermostat And Mounting Plate Kit OEM Part

After verifying the no heat problem myself, I just googled "LG3412W no heat" with my smartphone and thumb. One of the first hits was the Appliance Parts Pros website with a list of 8 possible parts that might fix this problem, listed in descending order of likelihood of success. With 3 adults worth of dirty laundry piling up and straining our ability to drip dry, I had to agonize over: 1) buying a new dryer from whatever a local dealer had in stock, then clearing years of valuable junk in the garage out of the way to pull out the old one and bring in the new OR B) Calling in a professional service man from any of several local depots whose online ratings invariably included comments like "took three trips over three weeks to fix problem" and "my cousin works there, five stars!!!", and then admitting said stranger to the privacy of my house according to his schedule OR III) Exercising my aging limbs and muscles "one more time" like I always used to do and fix the thing myself. I selected the latter. I ordered the first 4 parts listed by APP and gladly payed for overnight delivery. And POOF there they were, before lunch on a Saturday! After watching APP's online videos, I popped off the Amana's front panel by removing the only two screws I left in place from previous repairs (hahaha) and was overjoyed to see all 4 of those parts conveniently situated right in front, unlike in the Maytag shown in the video. Time being of the essence, I replaced the gas valve coils, the flame sensor and the limit thermostat just because I could. The Amana uses a "round" igniter as mentioned in the APP parts listing, and is held captive by a clamp which is spot welded in place, so clearly some extended field engineering would be necessary to replace that, plus I hadn't ordered the suggested igniter bracket (yet). Fortunately my existing igniter passed the ohmmeter test OK, so I've set the new igniter aside for the next time I have to open 'er up and replace the drum rollers and / or belt. I took my time on this repair and had the dryer running again after about 2.5 hours, all told, of slow paced work while laying on my aging back and side, finishing at a perfect time to treat myself to a congratulatory pizza and resume the neglecting of other pressing duties, as usual. My most important comment to make: As far as I'm concerned, Appliance Parts Pros gets half of the credit for fixing my dryer, and they earned it without even leaving their parts warehouse or web server!

Replaced all parts and dryer started right up. note vacuumed vent hose very well i believe this was what caused thermal fuse to fail. air way was about 80-90% restricted causing dryer to cycle

I narrowed it down to a sensor, not knowing witch one I order 4 different sensors. It took about 15 minutes to install. Sadly they were not the problem. But I did figure the problem out. It turned out to be the coils for the gas valve. When I Would turn the dryer on the burner would start and go thru a cycle, it would do this for about 4 cycles then the burner would not turn on. But all is good I should not have any problems with this for awhile.

Replaced valve coils and limit thermostat. I noticed it was broken when inspecting flame

Replaced coil kit part number AP3094251.
