After a few heating cycles the burner does not ignite
I actually have a Maytag MDG4000BWW gas dryer. I couldn't find that model listed. After a few heating cycles - igniter glows then burner ignites - the igniter glows but I hear a sound that I can only describe as pouring tacks down a metal drainpipe. The burner doesn't ignite and the igniter shuts off. This behavior is repeated until I let the dryer rest (cool down?). Then the burner will ignite a few times again until I hear this sound. This strange sound starts after I hear the relay click for the igniter.
I cleaned the dryer vent and lint filter. Any Ideas?
Thanks,

got clothes out of dryer without actually turning knob to off position. 7 hours later I hear a pinging noise in my laundry room. room was very hot and the top of the dryer was really hot like the top of your stove when you are cooking. It was like the knob was stuck. I unplugged the dryer and let it cool down.got clothes out of dryer without actually turning knob to off position. 7 hours later I hear a pinging noise in my laundry room. room was very hot and the top of the dryer was really hot like the top of your stove when you are cooking.

Re:
The problem you are describing is usually associated with a bad gas valve coil. The dryer runs normally until it gets hot, then starts making a strange clicking noise. After it cools down, the dryer runs normally again. The gas valve coils (there are two of them) usually run about $20 a piece. I recommend replacing both of them at the same time just to be sure. I hope this helps.

Replace the 2 burner coils ,if the igniter keeps cycling trying to start the flame.
If it doesn't replace the flame sensor mounted on the
side of the burner tube.
its either the hi-limit switch is weak on the burner tube,or the gas valve coils on the gas valve are weak and can no longer keep the gas valve open to supply gas,if they appear warm after operation they are most likely bad
Hi,
If you are having problems with your gas dryer not heatingthe most common problem is that the ignitor goes bad. Even though it glowssometimes it is still not working properly.
if you dryer is gas check out this gas no heat tip....
If you have an electric dryer, you can have many differentthings that can go wrong causing the dryer not to heat.
check out this electric no heat tip...
Gdeli25 -- The Maytag Neptune MD[G]4000BWW is a front-loading [G]as dryer. Parts list and manual are available online from: [http://www.appliancepartspros.com/partsearch/model.aspx?model_id=47083] If you are still having problems, write back. -- SWT
check the high limit/cycling switch thermostat located on the heat housing ,you will need to remove the front panel to access this,then, bypass the high-limit with a jumper wire and see if the flame stays on longer,if this doesn't help, then check the radiant senser on the tube also they get dirty,you can clean the senser eye or bypass this also and see if its weak,if not then replace the 2 gas coil valves on the gas valve body as these will get weak and shut off the gas supply
on a timed dry cycle u are selecting the time it will dry
only after the time has run out will it tumble with no heat
on other setting the machine is stopping the heat and putting the machine into a cool down or air fluff mode
sounds like it isworking normally
(solv ya prob)
Below are some links, courtesy of www.repairclinic.com, that will assist you in diagnosing/repair of your dryer. You may have to enter your model number in the search box to access some of the information.
Firstly, ascertain that you have made a positive heat selection on the control panel temperature switch. The links below are listed in order of failure commonality.
These are only the most common parts that tend to fail. There are numerous other components that could cause the same symptoms. If the above assistance does not resolve your issue, you may request assistance with an on-line technician, or you can order a service manual from www.repairclinic.com
