Default Maytag gas dryer will not heat
Model Number: MGD5870TW0   Brand: Maytag   Age: 1 - 5 years

I am trying to fix the problem with the gas dryer. I replaced the igniter and gas coils a week ago and the dryer worked fine for a few days. Now the igniter will not glow and I am having trouble figuring out why. I have tested the igniter, coils, thermostats and they all have continuity. What am I missing.

Hi.

When you are checking the thermostats do you take off one wire?
You didn't list the fuse and flame sensor in the parts you've checked.
Set the timer to timed regular and check continuity at T-WB, BK-BU, BK-R, T-W.
At the heat switch contacts 1-4 closed.

Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for Maytag MGD5870TW0 29" GAS DRYER | AppliancePartsPros.com

Post the results.

Simon.

I checked the flame sensor but I can not find a fuse. I also pulled the wires on the thermostats, but will check the timer settings you suggest.
