The timer on my 6 year old Dryer is failing to advance. I'm thinking it is just the timer. But the symptoms came on slowly and strangly.

First the Sensor Drying started failing to advance ... most of the time. But the Timed drying worked.

Then about a week later the Timed drying started to fail too.

Then we noticed that sometimes we had heated air flowing through the dryer and sometimes we only had cool air flowing through. I've yet to see any consistency with that problem. I can start it have have no heat. Open the door to stop it. Come back 10 minutes later, close the door, push the start button, and then have heat. Open the door again. Come back 10 minutes later, close the door, start it again, and this time have no heat.... or maybe it will have heat. ??? It's all the doings of gremlins, I tell ya.

Does this all sound like a Timer problem to you or is it something else? Or is it multiple failures?

It's model LGB6200KQ1. Here is the parts list is:

Most likely the problem caused by the coils (#13 & 14 on the burner break down diagram) on the gas valve. They are not stable and do not always holding the gas valve open.

- The part number for the set of the coils is AP3094251

Here are the break down diagrams for the Whirlpool dryer Model LGB6200KQ1

Hi Gene,
You're the best! I replaced the two coils as you suggested and everything works.
Thank you!
