I was wondering if someone could help diagnose a problem I’m having with my dryer. The hot service ingnitor seems to be working fine, but it doesn’t seem to ingnite the gas. This happens every 3 min or so (this is with clothes in it). That being said, I tried it without closed after I took it apart and it worked just fine. Any suggestions?
Hi.
Please describe in details what is the problem and what did you do. It will help to diagnose the problem.
Thank you.
The problem is that the dryer doesnt heat up. so i took the dryer apart to check the igniter. that looked and tested ok. At that point, I put it mostly back together and tried it again without any clothes in it. at that point, it fired up with high heat. So i did a load of laundry to test it, put it in the dryer, and now the gas doesnt kick in when the igniter goes
Hello.
My recommendation would be reassemble the dryer completely and then try it with the laundry inside. Also you may take off the vent hose from the back.
See if the gas will come on and time the ON-OFF cycles.
If you will see only ignitor turning on and off then the problem most likely is bad control coils.
