I have a Maytag Performa gas dryer with above model number and serial number 12854781UW that requires 3+ cycles to dry clothes. I have cleaned the vent and there is sufficient airflow through output vent. It feels as though the air feels cool or mildly warm if that. I have turned the dryer on while the door was still open to see if in fact the drum is rotating which is the case. I have checked the gas switch valve to make sure the valve is in the on direction. I am currently debating whether if it is worth it to repair this one or if I should just purchase a new dryer . Please help any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Just checked my dryer on a whim and it does get warm but not as hot as to dry the clothes in 1 cycle. The dryer used to do this on occasion before it did not provide enough heat. Could it be a build up of lint blocking the igniter or something?

Take the dryer apart and clean the air ducts and the blower housing. Replace the gas valve coils.

- The part number for the coil kit is AP2150379

Here are the break down diagrams and the parts list for the Maytag dryer Model PYG2000AWW

Gene,
I received the part today and was wondering how to gain access into the dryer to replace the part. Thanks!

Was able to find out how to access the part using another forum

I replaced the coils and the dryer works just fine
