Gas Dryer The igniter comes on, lights up but gas does not lightup. it will lightup manually by using a lighter. I have already replaced the igniter. thank you rekhapatel

There are two coils on the gas valve that fail from time to time. Before changing them, check to see if you can light the burner by using something like a bar b q lighter or a long match as soon a the igniter switched off to confirm whether the gas valve is working. I have had the same problem and had to replace the coils on the gas valve. One of the coils is an opening and the other is a hold coil.

if you hear the valve clicking but no gas the valve is bad.when the burner lights theres a probe that senses that it is lit and sends a microvoltage back to the controller to tell its lit.check to make sure all ground wires are grounded to a clean metal surface.

goto the dryer's manufacturer's site and click on support you should be able to download the owner's manual, the pilot light needs to be relight or the pizeo lighter is not working

Need more info. Is the igniter coming on but no flame, is the igniter not coming on. Several things will make the igniter not come on (timer, motor switch, thermal fuses, thermostats, temp selectors, etc. What have you checked already?

Try lighting it with a fireplace lighter or long match. If it lights, your problem is your igniter. Either keep using lighters or replace the igniter.

How old is your dryer? Only models from the 1980's and older have actual pilot flame lighters. If it's newer it will have either a spark igniter or an electric glow bar. If you have a large front access panel across the bottom, then you may have a pilot light. Remove the panel and look for the gas valve. (NOTE: Before lighting anything, make sure you do not smell gas. If you do, you'll need to air the room out before trying) There will be a burner coming out the back of the gas valve control and this control will have a red push button in the front or side of it to allow gas to the pilot only. Using a extended bbq type lighter, light the pilot at the pilot assembly and hold the button for about 60 seconds. The pilot assembly is connected to the gas valve control by a small diameter aluminum tubing with a copper thermocouple right next to it. Release and make sure the pilot stays lit. Before putting the access panel back on, turn on the dryer and watch for the burner to light. It should be a strong blue flame. Let us know if we can help you further. Not knowing why your pilot went out in the first place, there may be a unforeseen issue that may need attention. If you have a propane gas dryer and you ran out of gas, then it may take a while to get gas to the pilot, so be patient when trying to light it. Never hold the button down without the lighter lit at the pilot assembly, so there is not a build-up of gas. If you are not comfortable doing this, I recommend you call your gas co to light it for you, as many will do it for free! Good luck and be careful!

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.

gud day,the problem is ur igniter ligther is totally damage & nid to replace, if u want to use ur cooktop use matches or ligther every time open ur gas cooktop,tnx gerbee

Try using a lighter, the type used for grills. Since you can smell gas, the gas valve is working but the egnitter that gives the spark to ignite the gas is apparently not working.
Usually is it not the igniter but the controller that controls the igniter. If using the lighter as suggested, and it lites, you probably will have to replace the igniter controller for the range

Modern gas cookers use an electronic ignition switch rather than a pilot light to light the gas for cooking. This means you can light your gas cooker with the touch of one button instead of using several matches or a flint lighter. Of course, you still have the option to light the gas cooker by hand with matches or a flint lighter if the ignition switch does not work the first time.

1.Open the gas regulator valve by pushing it in and turning it to a low setting.

2.Push the ignition switch once.

3.If the gas cooker does not light on the first try, close the gas regulation valve for one minute by pushing in on it and turning it back to the "Off" position.

4.Open the gas regulation valve, set it a bit higher than you did on the first lighting attempt, and push the ignition switch again.

5.Light the gas with a match or a flint lighter if the gas cooker does not light when you push the ignition switch again.
