Would the igniter glow again or not?

Make sure the dryer exhaust is clean and the vent hose behind the dryer is not kinked or twisted.

Here are the breakdown diagrams and Parts for Maytag MDG4806AWW Dryer - AppliancePartsPros.com

Have Maytag Dryer Model #MDG4806AWW with no heat. Dryer igniter glows flame comes on for about 15 seconds and shuts off. Dryer vent is free of lint,tested everything for continuity is ok, I think its the gas valve. This model you can't just replace the coils. How do I replace the whole assembly. Thanks Rick

Check out the blower wheel. Make sure it's not slipping at the motor shaft.

If there is nothing wrong, replace the hi-limit thermostat (#10 at the diagram).

- The blower wheel Part number: 56000
Part number: 56000



- The hi-limit thermostat Part number: AP4052097
Part number: AP4052097
