Would any one know what the Resistance range is for each coil ( Booster, Holding, Secondary) or where I can find that onfo.? Thanks.:confused:

Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for MAYTAG DG808 DRYER- GAS \| AppliancePartsPros.com Gene.

Checked the Flame Sensor, Igniter, Hi Limit, all have contonuity. Checked all thermostats all OK. I now want to check the R value of the 3 gas valve coils but don't know what these values should be.

The problem can be a bad gas valve coils as well as a bad gas valve itself. We don't know the correct resistance values for the coils, but you can just check them for continuity to figure out if any of them is open. If they all have some resistance then you may want to replace the whole gas valve assembly. It has been redesigned long time ago and comes with the new "M" series coils. - The gas valve kit Part number: AP4260933 Gene.

So I tested every component including all thermostats,still didn'work.Diconnected coils checked them no continutity on 2. Returned to supplier and got another new set and it works fine now.Figure that out! New coils were defective.
