I found that by holding the start button in for a long period of time maybe 5-7 seconds that the igniter would light it it ran fine. After about 6 months I no longer needed to hold in the start button for an extended time and the dryer worked fine. Well my luck has run out the drum still turns but the heat is not working the igniter is not glowing. Logic wants me to get an igniter but I know it is more complicated then that. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, Jeff
