Rank: Member Groups: Registered Joined: 8/28/2013(UTC) Posts: 2		I have Hotpoint gas dryer with no heat, model nwxr473gt0wb. Checked all the basics, limit switches all good etc. Ignitor does not glow. Voltage to ignitor measured 24vAC, seems like a stray voltage. Measured the hot (yellow) side of the ignitor lead to ground, 120vAC. I assume thie means I'm not getting a neutral to the ignitor. Neutral coming from house outlet measured at dryer door switch is good. Schematic leads me to the "Control Timer" or "Control Inlet" Any suggestions or help?

Sounds like you have an issue with the timer voltage feeding the ignitor........track the ignitor wires back for damage or a bad connection........If you find nothing i'd suspect a bad timer or a neutral wire mixed up or damaged.

Tested multimeter at wall outlet to verify it was working correctly. Checked continuity across limit switches (dryer unpluged), all seemed good. Started checking voltage at limit switches, found 120vAC all the way to the ignitor connector (neutral to ground)
