Question No Heat when drying (Gas)
Model Number: LDG8506AAE   Brand: Maytag   Age: More than 10 years   

No heat while drying clothes. Think it might be ignitor. How can I find electrical information/diagram for this Gas unit. For example, when I measured input to ignitor, it was approx 27 volts, was sort of expecting 110-120.
I am guessing it could be ignitor or thermal fuse? Any and all suggestions on fixing this would be appreciated.
Thanks

Click on your model# for the schematic. You will need to check all components upstream from the gas assembly and all connectors. Check overload and cycling thermostat,thermal fuse and timer.

Question

Richappy,
Thanks, but I need to ask.....what should measurements read? In other words when I measured the voltage feeding Ignitor to be 27v, was that good or low and it should have been 110/120? I figure I can check for simple continuity on the thermal fuse, but question would be where to find?
I know these are probably some dumb questions, but I'm just trying to fix the dryer without re-purchasing it, or having to buy a new one.....
Best Regards,
David

Looks like it was actually the Flame/Radiant Sensor.

Thanks
