Maytag Neptune gas Clothes Dryer
Model MDG3000AWW
Problem:
No or limited heat during drying cycle
Description:
Drum turns freely.
Plenty of air flow out of dryer exhaust with vent disconnected and connected, as every nook and cranny was cleaned and vaccumed.
When first turning on dryer, Igniter glows orange/red gas ignites and
burns for 30 seconds or so then flame shuts off. With in 30 to 60
seconds cycle is repeated.
Sometimes on initial start up, this cycle will take place once,
sometimes twice. Then symptoms change. After the one or two ignitions
and burns, the igniter will glow as before but the gas valve won’t open
and therefore there is no burn. Then the igniter shuts off for a minute
or so. It will keep this on / off cycle up. When the gas valve fails to
open and while the igniter is glowing I hear a rattle that seems to be
coming from the gas valve coils.
Thanks for your help.

If you have the same problem as listed in my post please replace the gas valve coils and you will be quite relieved of a most taxing part time heat problem!!

the gas igniter turns red but the gas valve does not open
I have a whirlpool cabrio gas dryer that smells like something is burning when the flame ignites. It does not smell when the dryer is on air dry or fluff cycle. Any ideas of the problem?
