Kitchen Aid Gas Dryer Does Not Always Ignite

Probably closer to 5+ Years. Ignites when first turned on, then ignites intermittantly throughout 75 minute cycle. Clothes still damp. I can fool with the they dial which now does not move during drytime and the dryer stays on until I open the door to shut it off. Can fool with the dial to get it to light (sometimes). Help?

Thank you.

PS: Rather urgent. I have three children and LOTS of laundry!

Most likely the problem with your dryer caused by the coils on the gas valve.

Here are the break down diagrams for the Kitchen Aid dryer Model KGYS700JQ0.

I was having the same trouble dryer not Lighting and I was reading here and I found out it was the Coils I replaced them and it worked fine thanks for the help. BTW mine was a Whirlpool dryer but it was the same thing. and I am not a repairman and it only took 20 min to do.:smiley:

Thanks Gene for the info
