Dryer had no heat at all. This is an older gas dryer.
Cleaned out years of fuzz behind lower access panel and noticed where the igniter sits there is a metal tube about 1 inch in diameter. It had rust on the end and was starting to flake away. Found some helpful hints about how to test the igniter. Very easy, just used an ohmeter. Unplugged the 2 pin wire connector and checked for continuity. 1 lead on 1 pin and the other on the other pin., igniter side not the harness side from the dryer. A good igniter should read less than 5 ohms. I don't know the spec. exacttly, but it should not read open or infinite resistance. My meter read an open circuit. Removed the tube and igniter assembly, mine only 2 small bolts. I found the igniter element cracked. Ordered and installed igniter and tube assembly. This was a very easy install. 20 year old dryer works great and it's better than spending $500.00+ on a new one.
Unplug from electricity, turn off gas valve, raise top, remove front. Take drum out of cabinet, unhook gas line from burner assy. unhook electric wires, marking them for re installation. Remove, and replace burner tube. Reinstall burner assy attach wires and gas line. (Check for leaks) Reassemble drum to cabinet, rethread belt thru tensioner, reinstall front, let top back down on unit.

Spins fine, but no Flame so no heat. Testing which part(s) to replace. 1) thermal fuse has continuity 2) radiant sensor (Flame sensor) has continuity 3) gas valve coils 3 prong 1 to 2 = 1255 ohms & 1 3 = 575 ohms & 2 prong = 1200 ohms; are those within range? 4) dryer gas igniter 67 ohms, is that within range? What else should i check and what would the associated test be continuity or ohms? Thanks so much

Hi Alan,
Thank you for contacting us back. You may have to also check the the door catch and strike, the burner tube, the drum seal, the drive belt, the gas valve, the push-to-start switch, the temperature switch and the power relay. I hope this helps with the repair.

The gas burner does light successfully but while lit i do smell gas, inside the dryer and outside from the vent. Would this be the correct part to fix this issue? Check you in advance. Power

Hello Peter, thank you for writing. This could just be a faulty Door Switch preventing the dryer from starting. The replacement for your model is part number PS11741701. You may also want to consider replacing the Igniter Kit, part number PS334180. Good luck with your repair!
