Default Amana Gas Dryer No Heat

If the replaced igniter glows but no gas is supplied to start heating cycle you may have a bad Flame Sensor. Try to tap on the flame sensor(located on the left side of the heat chamber) when the igniter is glowing. That should open the circuit to start gas flow. If that works you have a flaky flame sensor replace it. If that does not work, you can disconnect one of the wires on the Flame Sensor to manually open the circuit (be carefull, 110v). If that works then you may have bad coils on the valve assembly.
