Whirlpool WP61623 Heater, Thermostat 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!

I replaced the main parts for the dryer cycle system

I decided I could either buy new or rebuild my current Amana high capacity dryer. I took the machine apart and decided the motor, heating element and thermostats likely needed replaced. After doing the math, I felt it was worth the rebuild. Additionally, i chose to replace the belt, idler roller and drum support rollers. Glad I did!

I replaced the two gas solenoids. Now it is working as well as ever. The gas dryer is almost 20 years old. I replaced the drum bearings in the back, the rotary timer switch and now the gas solenoids the second time.

Hi-Limit Thermostat had no continuity... Thermostat heater had high resistance... ordered and replace dboth...
