Hello,

I've been having problems with my dryer recently. About six months ago it stopped drying but after about a week it started drying again. In the last week it's stopped drying clothes again.

The dryer turns on, blows air, tumbles fine. The igniter is glowing and it lights the burner but it doesn't seem to get hot enough or stay on long enough to dry clothes. After the initial burn the igniter doesn't seem to trigger frequently enough to dry the clothes in a normal amount of time.

I've tested the igniter, flame sensor, cycling thermostat (at room temperature) and gas valve solenoids with a multimeter. All seem to be fine. I've checked the duct for obstructions.

Any thoughts on what could be the problem or what else I can test?

Thanks.

I tried running with the vent disconnected but it didn't help.

I replaced the coils (solenoid valves). The igniter was coming on and the gas was igniting last night. Now this morning when I went to reassemble everything it's not heating again. Igniter is not coming on at all.

Very frustrating because it just seems to work intermittently.
