Click for motor.


Cick for sensor.


There is a 2 wire plug that supplies the voltage to the valve assembly, check it there to see if you are getting 110v from the dryer. If not then start looking in the dryer, if it is getting 110v the start looking after that point. Check the igniter sensor. If your sure everything else is ok (this means you actually checked everything with a meter, wires off), then I would look at the motor, there is a safety switch in the motor that sends the voltage to the valve, if the motor doesnt spin.... no heat... no fire!! So if the switch has gone bad the valve thinks the motor is not running. You will have to get the wiring diagram and see which wire it is coming off the motor. Look in the console for wiring diagram.
