After following the excellent advice on this site, I replaced the moisture sensor bars, thermal fuse, thermistor, gas coils, and the igniter (parts purchased from AppliancePartsPros.com). The dryer worked for fine one day and now the problem has recurred - dryer not heating. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Check all thermostats through the heating system you just replaced the thermister but didn't test the rest of the thermostats? Take them out and shake them see if you hear alot of rattling. Here's a helpful video. Gas Dryer Repair Video: Heating Problems - YouTube

It is rather confusing, since it worked perfectly after replacing all of the parts - but stopped after only one day. It appears like the only thing left to replace is the control board.

Damn Duets! They can be a pain lol

I was wondering if the coils I got from AppliancePartsPros.com were bad - but a resistance check shows them to be okay. It is really driving me crazy, since the dryer worked for one day after replacing the coils and other parts. I'm wondering if I should order another set with a gas valve, call a repairman, or just replace the dryer! Again, thanks.

Or go on craigs list and find one that works fine from someone moving for 100 bucks.........make sure to test at least 20-30 minutes though if it a gas dryer because it takes that long to recognise coil or burner issues sometimes
