Well I'm not familiar with gas delivery systems on dryers, but I can tell you how they work on home heating boilers and I'm sure they are very similar. There are two type, standing pilot (which you have) and spark ignition. Spark ignition uses two electrodes with an electric spark to ignite the gas. Now your situation your dryer may have what is called a thermocouple which is like a little metal cylinder connected to a wire. When the flame is lit it heats that thermocouple which produces a voltage. That voltage keeps your gas valve open to keep the pilot light lit. If your pilot light is lit then the thermocouple is not bad. You need to check your circuit and see where the break is. Its true it could be a thermostat. To check a thermostat you need to take it off the dryer and you can either use a lighter or put it in boiling water till you hear is pop or open up. If you hear it pop twice then it is good (you'll hear it pop once when it heats up and once when it cools down). There is a circuit that keeps that gas valve open, and after 10 seconds something is opening that gas valve circuit, you need to see what all is connected to it, then you will solve your problem.

Starts and runs for a few minutes and then just quits?

Hello Larry;

My name is Peter. I am a retired field service appliance technician.

You have not provided a model number so I do not know if you have an electric or gas dryer. Your model number may be on a label when you open the door.

In general:

1.) Air Flow Problem - Over time lint accumulates in both your hot air distribution manifold as well as you wall air duct. This will shut you down.

2.) Week Ignitor (Gas Dryers) - The ignitor in a gas dryer will glow red. The ignitor can glow red yet not have enough power to open your gas valve.

3.) High Temperature Thermal Switch or Fuse - In both electric and gas dryers you have a high temperature thermal fuse or switch. In either case, when this component is bad and reads any temperature, high or low, it will shut you down.

That is all I can tell you without knowing your dryer model number.

Missing Maytag Neptune Dryer Door Screws Who can help Me?

Did you drop them inside the dryer, or just lose them. You can always use your model number with a parts search online and find replacement screws. A good place to start would be www.appliancepartspros.com If you do a search on a particular site, and it shows something like we found x amount of close matches, then try another site until you find an exact match to the model number.

Hope that helps.

My gas dryer will not heat up. I have been unable to find any posts that match the model number. The model munber is 110.C74852301. I took the back off it and the igniter appears to be under the front of...

Yeah you gotta drop the front panel using a putty knife to release the clips. Basically the flame sensor should have continuity. If it is open you the ignitor won't come on. anything that does not have continuity will be the problem. Their are 2 duct fuses, one on the heater chamber and one hidden behind the filter housing.

Parts for old inglis dryer

http://www.myapplianceparts.com/index.asp

These people can find a lot of hard to find parts. I know Inglis is owned by Whirlpool now, but dont know the age of yours, or how long ago this happened. Door switches were pretty much the same, so it shouldnt be to hard to find what you need. Let me know if you need any further help. Jim
