My ignitor turns on then turns off. Its seems I have defective coils on the gas valve. I took off the vent (in the back of the dryer) but how do I reach the coils to replace them??? Please HELP!!! :confused:

You will need to pull front panel to get to the gas valve coils. If you have a meter, check the igniter resistance and current when turned on. Click on your model # for take apart help and part info.You will need to pull the drum belt for live test, just swing the door away and leave door switch wires connected.

The coils came in yesterday and replacing them did the trick.

Thanks for your assistance. :)

:) *** Side note, parts came in ahead of schedule. That is exactly the kind of service you look for in these situations. *** :)
