Due to several problems and the fact that it's 20 years old I purchased
a new clothes drier.

Kind of curious though as what the problem is with the old one. I do my
own repairs and this one stumped me.



The gas only comes on intermittently. I can see the igniter glowing but
most of the time, there is no gas present.

Sometimes it will ignite but after a few minutes goes out again.


The timer and thermal breakers all check ok. I'm thinking it must be the
solenoid that actually turns the gas on.


I did not think it worth investigating because half the time the drum
sticks...I got my $400 worth.
