My Gas dryer has stopped heating up. The ignitor comes on and gets red hot, but the gas never ignites and gets hot. I've wiggled the switch wire and that kicked it on, once or twice, but can't get it to stay lit. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Phil,

Which switch wire did you wiggle ?

I would think, you've got a bad set of gas valve coils, based on your description, and the age of your machine, but I could be wrong, based on the wire wiggle ?

Also, could you supply a serial number, it would help greatly,in looking up parts if you should need any.

Thanks,

:) :) :)
