Default GE dryer wont heat
Model Number: ddg7289rclww   Brand: GE   Age: 5 - 10 years   

Appliance Parts from AppliancePartPros.com
the glow ignitor heats intermittently. Tested with multi meter and got 81.5 ohms.

Also tested solenoids - I got 1205 ohms on the 2- prong coil. the three prong coil gave me 549 for the left and right prongs; middle and right gave me 1900; middle prong and left prong gave me 1352ohms. these were unplugged.

I removed and tested the flame sensor on the burner housing and got 00.7 ohms.

anyone have ideas. so far nothing seems to have solved the problem.

The igniter is operated by the thermostat and normally should cycle "on" and "off" depends on the temperature. Is that what you meant saying: "the glow igniter heats intermittently"?

If it stays "on" not long enough to maintain a proper temperature then there is a lack of air flow through the dryer due to clogged vents outside the dryer as well as inside.
