After starting a drying cycle, you can hear a solenoid "click", and normally the burner would light, but nothing happens. The glow plug is not lighting up as well.

You have to check for continuity two thermostats behind the front panel, the hi-limit thermostat mounted on the combustion chamber, the igniter and the flame detector (on side of the combustion chamber). If any of these parts is open, it has to be replaced.

Post the results.

would you have any diagrams showing where inside the machine these parts are located, and how to gain access to them?

1. #272 & #273 on the break down diagram

2. #530 on the break down diagram

3. #717 on the break down diagram

4. #562 on the break down diagram

Open the door and remove the four screws securing the top panel from the door frame. Lift up the top panel and remove the screw on each side of the top of the front panel and the screw on each side of the bottom of the front panel.

I've isolated and checked continuity on 4 parts in question, and all seem to pass the test. What now?

Check all wires and connectors. If there is nothing wrong then the timer is probably bad. If you can post the wiring diagram, it might help better.

- The part number for the timer is AP2042785
