Most likely the igniter needs replacing tho it also could be thermistor or lack of gas flow or a few others.

The check filter light is just a reminder light and cannot be reset.  Nothing to worry about.  Just keep the filter clean before each use.

Contact the manufacture at their web site and get a Support Rep. to assist you with dowloads of Manuals.

Do not worry, the igniter controls by control board. Just turn the gas on and let it run as normal.

Had the same problem. Filter was clean. Vacuumed out the area under the filter. Still had problem. Unplugged the dryer. Removed the hose vent (back of dryer) and checked the exhaust -- all clean. Plugged the dryer back in and was fine. Still going to check the vent to the outside for lint buildup.

leave this machine unplugged for several hours. Make sure all the lint is free and clear. This machine needs to be plugged for several several hours to reset itself unless your model has a reset option available.

Hi,

If your dryer is not drying like it once did or if you just have nottaken the time to give yourself a clean dryer in a long time then youneed to do that. At least once a year the dryer cleaning should takeplace. Lint build up in the dryer duct is one of the main causesfor your dryer to fail.

checkm for change in drum baffels

no the roaring sound you hear is the clutch assembly sounds like to me the transmission is going bad. The stack units have that problem after several years. Its up to you but just from my experience i would purchase a new one that way you get a warranty. just think if the motor was bad it would not run at all.

Yes, it will, but you wouldn't want to run it this way. The airflow is designed with an amount of back pressure, provided by the air filter. If you take that away, you will change the whole pattern of flow. Plus, it keeps larger and possibly flammable fragments out of the the heat chamber of your dryer. The heat chamber is where the flames do their work heating the air before it is fed into the tumbler. Those fragments lodge in there, and you could have a fire on your hands someday. I personally wouldn't do it.

You don't say why you want to do this; I'll assume there is some reason. You might want to find another way before you run filterless.

Practice safe drying! Always use a filter!

We had this problem three times. First two times we just removed, cleaned and put back the moisture sensor (metal strips inside). The last time we did as well but it didn't help. We phoned to a service guy and he said unplug the power cord for 20-30 minutes. And it worked!

it could be your heating element but if you use dryer sheets take your lint trap out and see how well water will run thru it it may need to be washed in hot soapy water hope this helps
