Default Dryer flame going out after 8 seconds
Model Number: ddg5180mal   Brand: GE   Age: More than 10 years   

My dryer will ignite, but the flame goes out after about 8 seconds. It will reignite and do the same. It will go through this cycle several times, then it won't reignite. I have cleaned the exhust system in it's entirety. I have replaced the valve coils. I have jumped out each of the three thermostats with no luck in detecting the problem. Any ideas?

Hi Greg,

Check the blower wheel (#201 on the break down diagram) and air ducts inside the dryer.

Gene.
