[LEFT][COLOR=#333333]I have an Amana gas dryer (model ALG230RAW) that is around 5 years old. My problem is similar to: Amana dryer - Intermittent heating lynkers Dryer Repair 3 09-17-2010 01:30 PM.[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]
[COLOR=#333333]
I have replaced all three thermostats - to no avail - thinking that the gas burner is OK - as the igniter turns on and the gas burner lights and burns about 2 minutes from a cold start and then shuts off - with the igniter recycling about every 2 minutes. I haven’t watched to see how long it takes to start the burner again during the dry cycle - if at all - but it must be a long time - if it does at all.

[LEFT][COLOR=#333333]Similar to "lynkers", I began a cycle and checked the dryer after 5-10 minutes. The clothes were warm, but definitely not hot. Began immediately drying again and checked again, and the clothes were cool. Repeated this procedure multiple times and on all possible settings on the machine. It continued this intermittent heating. It seemed like if I had it shut off for a little while and started it again, it would heat but then lose heat within a few minutes.[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][/LEFT]
[LEFT]I am mechanically inclined when it comes to gas dryers. Sounds like the gas valve coils may be bad in my dryer as well - right?[/COLOR][/LEFT]
[LEFT][COLOR=#333333]Can you tell me what the part # would be for a new gas burner coil kit for my model - if that is the problem - and where I can find a copy of the complete service manual for this dryer - showing [COLOR=#333333]how to install the replacement coils?[/COLOR][/COLOR][/LEFT]
[LEFT][COLOR=#333333]Your assistance with this problem is appreciated.[/COLOR]
Best.
