My dryer starts ok. Glow stick glows and then click and gas fires up. After a while, the gas cycles off. After a while of spinning, I'm guessing that it's calling for heat again, because the glow stick glows again, but the gas never comes on. The glows stick will come on and then fade out over and over again. My clothes take a very long time to dry. Would a thermostat be bad in this case? I'm thinking the solenoids that turn on the gas are ok, because they fire on when the dryer starts (when it's cold. Maybe I have a thermostat issue.

Okay. I tested those parts. Changed my solenoids. It glows. I see a flame trying to ignite. It then goes out. I have to say though. I do not get that click sound when it fires up. Mine makes a noisy almost rattling sound. Then it shut off. I imagine its the circuit closing. Any thoughts would be helpful?

Thanks for the video. I have an old dryer (Montgomery Ward - green in color) and it has this problem but at that time, ChrisFix still in 6th grade. I throw that dryer away but what a Shame, all i need is the 279834 Dryer Gas
Valve Ignition Solenoid which cost 5 - 10.

Ok If the fuse and thermostats check out and the flame sensor and igniter check out what else could be the problem if the igniter is not lighting? Could it be the timer switch? Nothing else it could be wrong right?

good video, you only left out 1 more, the centrifugal motor switch, I'm having to mess with mine. Got too much lint in the bottom of the dryer. The contacts on the motor switch for heat got too dirty.

I've got the same dryer as in this video and mine intermittently won't heat up. When it acts up I get no glow. Its driving me crazy. Changed solonoids and that didn't change anything. Any ideas?

Hello I've done the over all checking on my dryer. It lights for a little while. Until I turn it off then turn it but on. But it doesn't light up and it's not getting any heat. What else must I do

I have a Kenmore 700 gas dryer. 2 months ago, it keeps drying even though it has been set time. Now it is NOT hot. What should I first check and what parts should I replace first? Thank you.
