question,my gas dryer doesnt get hot,when cold first load it fires up ,then after a few cycles i noticed no flame(gas).. i have checked coils witha meter and get correct reading..(i check them cold after i had removed them from machine… i have seen the fire up cold thur the peak hole in front …all of the vents are cleaned,test all fuses in rear witha meter, i have seen a few time during the drying clcle the flame turn on but never gets the dryer hot…befor i wrote this i checked out thur the peak hole and noticed that it glowed and no gas came,the glowing cycle turn on then off in a cycle but no flame…so what would be my next step to check out???
Hello.
Most likely you have bad control coils. They are relatively easy to replace. The second choice is the safety gas valve assembly - comes with the coils. I would suggest you to start with coils. The unused parts, purchased from us can be returned.
The control coils set AP3094251
The safety gas valve AP6012745

tell me why i can have a good coil test with a meter(tested ohms reading on coils)and you think i should replace them…im dont saying you could be wrong just trying to understand how i could get a good reading on each coil and they still could be the reason for replacement
Hi.
You need to take reading of the coils right after gas fail to ignite. First check the coil with 2 contacts. When the defective coil gets hot it’s ether opens or shorts. On my experience the bad safety valve is very seldom case.
I hope I’ve answered your question.
