I have a whrilpool gas dryer that is not always getting hot. It seems to get hot the first time you use it, but then if you consistantly use it it only blows air.
I've replaced the igniter and that didnt' work. I've cleaned the vent area to make sure I have good air flow. I don't know if it is temp sensor or coils?
Any suggestions?
Paul

Hi,
When it stops heating and just air blows can you still see if the ignitor is coming on? If the ignitor is coming on, but you don't' seem to get any gas to heat the dryer with I would suspect the two coils on the gas valve.

I just replaced the ignitor (less than 2 weeks ago) as I thought that was the problem. And yes, it just blows air after the heat at startup after being off for a while. In reading the forums, I'm guessing coils. Looks really easy to replace. thanks, Paul
