Hi all I have a gas maytag dryer SDG3606

the Dryer is having a intermittent heat issue (sometimes it will fire up sometime it wont)
the two limit sensor/switch on the duct tube were tested for continuity
the flame sensor on the outside of the duct has continuity

im guessing the two coils/solenoid might be faulty (on top of the gas valve)
the three prong coil, left and middle is 1461 ohms.. the left and right is 585 ohms

the two prong coil is 1393 ohm

does anyone have the specs for the coil?

Can't recall specs but those coils cause those exact symptoms sometimes i'll be at a home for a hour and not get it to act up. I quote em for new coils after checking everything else i can think of. We never hear back. Lol

Lol yea I'm down to the last two items. (The two coil and the thermostat) so I'm thinking of just ordering them both. I hope it's not the gas valve (with my luck :( it might be )

Of all the gas dryers i've worked on with those coils i have only needed to replace the gas valve once. I'd just order the coils. If the thermostat ohms closed.
