Default Maytag Gas Dryer will not reignite
Brand: Maytag
Model Number: MDG9206AWW
Age: 5 - 10 years

Greetings,

Maytag gas dryer ignites burner on startup but does not re-ignite during use. The igniter glows red every few minutes but does not fire up. I removed and cleaned the internal ducting. I also removed the external duct for testing. I have checked the gas valve coils with a meter and they are within the specified limits. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Replace the gas valve. What happens is,the first time you turn on the dryer, the gas comes out. When it cycles on for the second time, the ignitor comes on, and then you hear a click and the ignitor shuts off, and no gas. That is the bad thing about solonoids, they can check to be good, and they are not. You can reach me at my web site at ApplianceEducator.com Tom

Hello Tom,

Replace the entire valve or just the coils?

Thanks

On those Maytags, I always replace the whole valve. Tom
