Christopher P Los Angeles , CA October 04, 2014 Appliance: Maytag Stacked Laundry- Gas LSG7806AAE Maytag gas dryer was not heating Did some dryer repair research (dryer not heating) on the internet. Bought an ohm meter, opened up the dryer and tested the cut-off-T, high limit thermostat, dryer igniter, flame sensor, cycling thermostat for continuity. The igniter was bad, the other parts tested ok. Went online to AppliancePartsPros.com searched for a new igniter for my specific dryer model, found the right replacement igniter and watched the video on how to replace the igniter. Because my dryer is old (15+ years) and I prefer not to experience the hassle of replacing failing parts every year so I purchased the new igniter and several additional parts (and the parts are inexpensive). Installed all of the new parts as shown on the repair videos on AppliancePartsPros.com and the dryer is now heating up as designed. Thank you AppliancePartsPros.com.

Roger K Aurora , IL December 10, 2015 Appliance: Maytag Gas Dryer LDG8616AAE 21 year old maytag gas dryer runs but stopped heating I assumed the "Cut-Off-T" (Thermal Fuse on the vent line) was the problem. Although it didn't hurt to change it out after 21 years of use it was not the problem. Working from least expensive to most expensive (as a rule) the next step was the igniter. A quick chat with Danny and an even quicker delivery and I had my new igniter on hand. Unplugged the dryer. Removed two Phillips screws on the front panel of the dryer and loosened one 1/4" bolt holding the igniter to the gas tube. Detached the igniter at the harness, swapped out the old one for the new one. Reattached it to the harness. Plugged the dryer back in. Watched for the glow then in moments... flame on! Warm & toasty clothes from the dryer once again. Thinking of Buying Replacement Appliances instead? I dare you to find a perfectly working dryer for under $20. Not going to happen.
