I’m going to follow the advice & steps I found in this post:
http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/dryer-repair/4743-no-heat-gas-dryer.html

But I’m wondering if anyone has other advice. I’m a beginner, but determined to do at least some basic troubleshooting / repair on my own. Thanks!

We tested the 5 different elements and I’m wondering if anyone can shed some light on what we found. I THINK that based on this, I might need to replace the Thermal fuse and the cycling thermostat, but I’d like to know if I’m headed in the right path.

So, again, going from post: http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/dryer-repair/4743-no-heat-gas-dryer.html#post12764

  1. Thermal Fuse - reading was 55

  2. Cycling Thermostat. Here’s where we’re a little confused. There are 4 wires connected to this thing. Let’s call them North East South and West.
    North and South have red wires
    East and West have purple wires
    We were unsure what combination we needed to test here, so we did it all:
    North + West - reading was 003
    North + East - reading was 1
    North + South - reading was 0001
    South + West - reading was 002
    South + East - reading was 1
    East + West - reading was 1

  3. Ignitor - reading was 060

  4. Flame Sensor - reading was 002

  5. Gas Valve Flame Coils
    The coil with 2 terminals - reading was 1292
    The coil with 3 terminals across the left + middle - reading was 1397
    The coil with 3 terminals across the left + right - reading was 567

Thanks again, for any help.
