Whirlpool LGB6300 Gas Dryer - Page 8 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

i am sorry to hear this, mdg model number means that you have a gas dryer, you have a fuse and thermastat that needs to be replaced which is beneath the top behind the drum, you will see a short element, a blue thermastat and 2 white wires that goes down to a fuse.

when you buy the fuse, it comes as a kit, the thermastat and 2 fuses, one of the small fuses you will not use because one if for an electric dryer, so look at your fuse and notice a dot, i do believe your dot will be yellow...

so lift up the top and you will see these parts

Inside the tub in the dryer itself is a heating element behind the screen. Try replacing it. Unplug the machine first though.

Check the following areas to combat this issue. the most common problem spot will be a blown Thermal fuse.


1. Gas valve coils
Igniter glows, then shuts off without igniting gas - the problem is probably with defective coils (black, located on top of the gas valve). It is recommended to replace all coils (usually two or three) if found defective.

Note: Sometimes the whole gas valve may be defective, thus not letting the gas out. However, this problem is not common.

2. Thermal fuse
Most dryers have a thermal fuse, which burns out when the dryer overheats, in which case the dryer will either not run at all or stop heating. The fuse is usually located on the vent duct, inside the dryer. A blown fuse will show no continuity when measured with a meter. Before replacing the fuse, make sure the blower wheel is not broken or clogged, and there is nothing blocking the venting.

Note: It is recommended by most dryer manufacturers to replace a hi-limit thermostat when replacing a thermal fuse.

3. Igniter
Igniter may burn out or break. Replace the igniter if found defective.

Note: Igniters are very fragile and break easily. It is recommended to handle the igniter only touching the ceramic part of it (usually white in color).

4. Flame sensor (or radiant heat sensor)
Replace the sensor (located near the igniter) if found defective.

replace the 2 coils on the burner . After they warm up , one will "short" , therefore the gas will not come on unless cooled down for a bit .

Check the wires to the switch on the motor, or the switch itself is not "clicking". Unplug the appliance before removing any covers.

I would suggest the coils on the gas valve . Also check the vent to make sure good air flow is getting out of the dryer . Try disconnecting the vent hose and drying a load to determine if maybe the vent is the problem .

Sounds like you have a bad warp switch. Also could have a gas valve going bad.

this dryer does not have a standing pilot it has an ignitor that comes on when you start the dryer if the dryer is not heating then you will more than likely have to replace the ignitor first make sure the dryer is plugged in

Hi, You will need to change the coils on top of the gas valve. They overheat and will not open the gas valve.
Here is instructions on get to the coil.
UNPLUG the dryer. This model you need to remove the two screws under the lint screen. Now use a flat blade screw drive and insert it in the gap between the top and the front panel and pry the top up. Now locate and remove the screws on the inside of the front panel in upper corners. The front should lift off. You will see the two black coils on the gas valve. When you remove the three wire coil, make sure the sleeve inside it gets put back on the post the coils slides onto.
If I can assist you further, please let me know.

Thanks
Vic

its automatic pilot like a bioler could be the gas valve inside that went bad on it or just some good cleaning will do it

Very common change the gas valve coils and you are good to go easy repair i can ship them to you free and tell you how to do it in no time... call me whirlpoolpartssurplus.com

Sounds like you need to replace the coils on the gas valve. Just make sure your venting is clear 1st. If it is, the coils are easy to replace. Remove the front panel and the coils are on the bottom right hand side. Two screws and the bracket for both comes off. One has two terminals and the other has three. Real easy once you get into the dryer.

Is this a gas or electric? model number please

Should be a cover about the size of a quarter on the front lleft bottom...pop off with a small screwdriver and start dryer....look inside and see if the glow bar lights up...if glow bright orange, probably good, may need gas solenoids or ignitor

Is yours the gas model? If so I need you to look for some things. Open back door panel and see if while trying to light the igniter is glowing orange. Sea Breeze

check the thermostat and the heating element may be damaged

You need to change the glow plug

there is a flame sensor/ thermocouple where the flame is, it's not picking up the heat off the flame. sometimes you can clean it with a piece of sand paper. if not, it needs to be replaced by a professional
