Frigidaire gas dryer - no heat

That means that the ignitor is most likely failing to start the process to ignite the gas. The ignitor is like a light bulb and can burn out.
Here is a link to the information about that: http://www.managemylife.com/mmh/questions/289969-frigidaire-model-faqg7077ka-error-code-e4a-heat

You may have an igniter issue, thermostat, or a gas valve coil issue. Make sure a heat selection is made also.

Hi,
If you have a gas dryer...
The most common problem with a gas and no heat is the ignitor going bad...

Here is a tip that I wrote about that problem...

If your dryer is electric..
There could be a number of different problems...
Check out this tip that I wrote about this problem...

the ignitor needs to be glowing white hot not orange. it is not hot enough to ignite so you need to replace it.

Hi

Things that could stop a gas dryer from heating:
- glow bar igniter, thermal fuse ( not all models ), coils on the gas valve, gas valve, thermostats, motor heat switch, timer, selector switch, sensor.
A page for checking gas dryers is here.

Please do rate the solution and revert for further assistance.

Thanks

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.

check exhaust ducts and inside bad of machine for lint blockage over heat shuts down heat if not igniter or gas valve failure likely

Look inside door and get the model number for me. Could be igniter, gas solenoids or temp control switch inside. Let me know, Thanks Sea Breeze

The ignitor can glow and still be defective.
Take a volt meter and check for power at the gas valve while calling for heat.
If you have voltage, replace the coils again.
No voltage, replace the ignitor and flame sensor.

Okay...the write-up you read was advice for ELECTRIC dryers. The model number you provided is for a GAS dryer. You have a burner assembly in your dryer instead of a heating element. The likely culprit on a gas dryer that no longer heats, is the igniter. The following link will shed some light on how the igniters work:

I know the link is for advice on how to replace an igniter in a gas range, but the theory of operation is the same. Read the top portion of the link I provided.

The igniter will become weak with age and will either stop glowing, or will glow, but not draw the necessary current to open the gas safety valve. This is a designed safety feature that prevents free flowing gas from entering the dryer cabinet without ignition. I would recommend you check first to see if the igniter is glowing. You can see an illustration of what I'm talking about by going to searspartsdirect.com and entering your model number. If you look under the "Burner,Valve" heading on the next page, the igniter is listed as item 74. Let me know what you find.
