Model HE4
The gas comes on at the beginning of the cycle, turns off, but does not reignite during the rest of the cycle. The glow igniter continues to come on but no gas. I have replaced the thermal fuse and the thermistor. I have tested the high limit thermostat, it has continuity. I test the coils and both are within the specified resistance limits. The exhaust vent is clear. Any suggestions?

Therefore it will light once, and then never again. Replace both coils on the valve, they are cheap, and you will have it. Tom ApplianceEducator.com
