.gil P Enumclaw , WA March 29, 2015 Appliance: Maytag Gas Dryer MGDB400VQ0 My maytag gas dryer would start and the the tumbler rotate but the igniter would not glow and flame not start The 2 sensors that sit on top of the flame tube work together. The Thrmst F should check closed, as should the Cutoff-TML, in order for power to flow to the ignitor. If the Cutoff is open, it is usually because the Thrmst-F did not open soon enough. The Thermst-F will cycle, closed to open, and repeat, however the Cutoff-HTML is a one time switch. If it opens it will not return to closed, and subsequently the ignitor will not glow. Some professionals say that if one of these sensors fail, both should be replaced. Even though the Thermst-F may check closed, it needs to open at around 275 degress, and close at it cools. If it fails to close, the back-up (Cutoff-HTML) will open and is not designed to close again.

Mark M Port Orchard , WA October 19, 2019 Appliance: Whirlpool Gas Dryer WGD8500DC1 The dryer heat would not come on We went to Applianceparts.com and found the parts that could be wrong, ordered them, and installed them ourselves. Still cheaper than calling the repair guys. They charge a fee then tell you what parts you need. If you want them to come back and install there is another fee.
