i had a problem with the dryer not heating. I have replaced the igniter, flame detector and lastly the clothes dryer gas Valve w10337269. The last part seemed to fix the problem except that sometimes (about every fifth load) it does not ignite and the clothes and exhaust smell like gas. There is no gas leak that I can detect. Could I have received a defective part or is there something else that could be wrong

Hi.

There is the chance it's a defective part.

hi.

Check the position of the ignitor that you replaced. Make sure it's properly installed.
Check the gas valve's orifice and the installation of the valve itself.
If all is good - try to get another gas valve.

Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for Maytag MGD5740TQ0 29"GAS DRYER | AppliancePartsPros.com

Thank you.

Simon.
