We will start with the basics..... unplug the dryer and make sure you have 120 V of power to that outlet. If so then remove the rear panel on the dryer and do the following Check ignitor continuity. Check for gas supply. Check flame switch continuity, (0 ohms when cold). Check gas valves for continuity. Check thermostat for continuity. Check for continuity. Manually close centrifugal switch contacts, check for continuity, (1M-2M ohms). [URL="http://www.appliancepartspros.com/partsearch/modelsearch.aspx?model=xl1800 spacemaker"][/URL]

That being said, it's going to take me until the weekend to get the ohm meter. Hopefully you'll be on then. I do thank you for your quick response. ~Rue~
