I forgot to mention that I also tested the fuse for continuity and it tested fine. I did also jump the fuse and it didn't matter.

Hi Gene,

Thanks for the info. I am at work but will look at that ignitor when I get home. I think it does because I was watching down the back of the dryer for the flame and thought it seemed to get brighter but no flame. Will check to be sure it's not just wishful thinking. Will let you know.

Is there a way I can do a continuity test on those coils to be sure they are bad? I ask because I just replaced them unnecessarily last year when I had a bad thermal cutoff switch. They were only $25 from this site but I couldnt' find my old set. I'd hate to replace them again if I could prove or rule them out with a test.

Just got home and looked through the peephole and the ignitor does NOT glow with the timer on the autosense or timed dry settings. It must have been wishful thinking because I see the ignitor right by the front peephole and I was only looking down the back of the dryer where I usually see the flame reflection.

I forgot to mention that I actually have the vent hose disconnected just to be sure that clogging wasn't an issue.

What should I look at next?

OK...I am confused. The ignitor was NOT glowing. But since you asked to confirm it I went ahead and took everything apart so I could test the 120 volt. I did a continuity test and the ignitor was good. and then even without the gas I tested the 120 volt and it had 122 volts. So I plugged in the ignitor and I'll be danged if it didn't start glowing!

So I stuck everything together and of course it started working just fine!! My concern is that I have something failing intermittently. I'll see how long this lasts but is there something I can test to avoid this from happening again??
