I had issue the other night, I cleaned the exhaust and dryer started working. The next day would not start again, I opened the front cleaned out the front intake of all lint and it started working. The next morning smae issue. I now smell gas though if I leave it running for a few mintuies when I open the dryer door. Do you know what could be the problem the igniter? or flame sensor gone bad?

Thanks

I arrived home and opened dryer again. I touched all the wires and made sure everything was seated correctly. Ofcourse tried once again and now it worked. I saw the ignitor light up cherry red and worked, I saw the flame sensor spark once or twice but have not seen it spark again was it suppose to spark. After this closed it all up and seems to be working again waiting to see if it stops again and see what it doesn't do without me touching any of the wires.
