We replaced the thermo-sensor part number WPL 338906 and the igntor glows for about 5 to 10 seconds, then turns off for 30 seconds, then glows again for 5 to 10 seconds then goes off again. Can you tell me what needs to be done.

Thank you,

Brian,

Make sure the gas shut-off valve for the dryer is open (there are two shut-off valves, one is inside and the other one outside the dryer).

What was the original problem?

Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for MAYTAG LDG8410AAE Dryer - Gas | AppliancePartsPros.com

The dryer was tumbling with no heat coming out. Both gas valves are open. I just replaced the sensor, part # WPL 338906. Any other ideas? I also replaced the blower wheel # WPL303836 because it was rattleing and the ring-retainer #WPL9703438. Could one of the sensors in the blower chamber affect the gas from igniting?

Thank you for responding,

Brian

Brian,

Most likely the problem is a bad gas valve coils (on top of the gas valve).

Thank you Gene,

That was going to be my next guess, but I didn't want to order the coil until I had some kind of confirmation.
