Ive replaced the igniter before so I thought id check it again...and it does work Now just for the heck of it I ran the dryer with the frt cover off and timed how long cycles were for the heat and then off... The heating cycle from the time the igniter starts and the flame goes out is about 25 seconds The off cycle before ignition again is about 50 seconds do these intervals seem normal... right now there are three items in the dryer one king size bed sheet one pillow case and one towel...... Ill see how long these three items take to dry....thanks for any help...Chris

Just wondering if you've figured out the problem as my Maytag gas dryer is behaving exactly as you describe. My thread "Disassembly of Maytag dryer" posted on March 3, 2016. If you've fixed your problem or have any insights I'd appreciate your input. Thanks
