My neptune maytag dryer is producing no heat. The igniter lights and the gas lights. The flame stays on for less than 1 minute. It repeats this cycle but never stays lit long enough to produce any heat. I have checked the following items: 1. Igniter checks out good 150oms 2. Radiant Sensor checks out good 0oms 3. High Tempature thermonstat good 0oms 4. Drum tempature thermostat good 0oms 5. Checked both solenoids on the gas valve (coils) the two prong coil check out at around 1300 oms the three prong coil check out a little odd, One side read 1400 oms and the other side check out around 1890 oms. the oms reading across the coil read 500 oms. 6. The exhaust vent is extremely clean from the drum to the outside flapper. I think it is the coils (Solenoids) on the Gas Valve, I had no gas leaks when checked. Can you help me with this??
If the coils are bad the unit will light with flame for 4 - 8 times then all of a sudden the ignitor will glow, kick off with no gas coming threw valve. it sounds like the high limit thermostat is short cycling the flame. This is the thermostat that sits on top of the burner chamber. remove 1 screw from the thermostat and blend it upwards away from the heat. Then plug unit back in and test to see if the flame stays on longer. Click here to see maytag dryer no heat posts. Contact me anytime here. Hope this helps..

If you did all the things listed, there are only 2 left that will cause the problem. The cycle thermostat located on the exhaust vent and possibly poor airflow. Remove the connecting vent from the rear and try a timed load. If it works repair the vent exhaust problem. Most cycle thermostats include a thermister that could also be defective causing the short cycle. The flame sensor and gas valve coils would have been the number 1 diagnosis. I would need a model number to more specific.

Hi,
Basically it’s the two wires that go from the sensor to the igniter. Please check the schematic diagram of the wiring as well to check it the sensor is fine or it’s the igniter. Therefore I would request you to check the sensor followed by the igniter.

Hi, If you are having problems with your
gas dryer not heating the most common problem is that the ignitor
goes bad. Even though it glows sometimes it is still not working
properly. if
