Dryer Repair

I replaced the flame sensor a year or two ago so was familiar with the inside of the dryer. On testing, igniter lit, flame detector had continuity, and main (3-prong) coil was in the range for continuity.
Secondary had infinite and I replaced it.
Good for a load or so, but now flame detector has no continuity and main coil reads "dead" too.
Can the new coil cause that reation?

No, I don't think so. In regards of the coils - it's better to replace both of them together.

The model number you posted is incorrect. Verify and repost please.

The model is an older GE: DDG7 189slbww.
I still didn't get continuity, but put it back together and voila, it's working.

It may have been that my multimeter has a low battery. If it stops again, something's up.

I'm glad it's up and running.

Thank you for the feed back.
