I am working on a Whirlpool gas dryer and unable to figure out why there is no flame. Igniter comes on, thermostat clicks and a very small flame (about 1’') can be seen at the beginning of the tube, not the end by the igniter. I have replaced the coils and thermostats, but no change. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am not sure if it is the valve or if there is a test to check the valve. Thank you for you expert advice as always.
Ohm out the ignitor, should be around 3 to 3.5 ohms. If it ohms out ok, the valve probably needs replaced.

Seems like your gas valve is bad, or the gas pressure to it is low. For safety reasons, I would get a pro to look at it.
