My dryer will not flame up. Thermal fuse tested open replaced fuse. Igniter glows now still no flame. Replaced Igniter and both Gas Valve Coils still no flame. Flame Sensor test closed. High Limit Thermostat test closed. Cycling Thermostat larg prongs test closed small prongs test 7 ohms resitance. Im thinking gas valve but just don’t wont to keep throwing parts at it. If it is the gas valve should I replace the LP conversion kit or can I use the old one? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You

Hi.
The flame sensor should open at 1500F allowing the current to go to the control coils.
With power disconnected remove both wires from the sensor, shorten them, restore the power and after the ignitor will glow - disconnect them.
If the gas ignites - replace the flame sensor.
If not - gas valve (assuming the gas is open).
