Can you help me diagnose the problem: - On heat setting "Medium (P Press)" setting. The igniter lights up good every 30-60 seconds but there is no flame. - On heat setting "High Heavy" the igniter lights and the burner flame comes up first time for around 3-5 minutes. The dryer heats fine during this time. After this the burner goes off and does not restart. The igniter continues to light up good every 30-60 seconds. Please guide on what part should replaced based on your best experiences to get this back to life.

They come as a set, so replace both. They get hairline cracks in their windings that work when they are cold and open when they get warm.

Whirlpool 279834 Dryer Gas Valve Coil Kit - AppliancePartsPros.com One of the screws on the coil is jammed and not coming out. I tried spraying little WD40 but it is still not coming out. Any suggestions?

Then use a large straight blade screwdriver to break the screw loose. If you haven't watched the repair video on the parts page yet, it can help you with reassembly. Good luck.
