To have it get warm there are 3 things have to be working together:
1- Ignition needs to be on to start the burning.
2- Gas valve needs to be opened after ignition is on.
3- Gas continues jetting in until a thermal switch turns the valve off.
You can open the rear panel to observe if the ignition is glowing or not. If it is not then that the culprit. If it is on then glows off after a while since the gas valve is not open, then you can just replace the thermo sensor if it is separate from the gas controller. Some controller has it integrated then you have to replace that. Good luck.

My good friends just gave me a 5 yr old dryer. i installed it, turned it on, and doesnt sound like ot spinning the clothes, then it shut off after 5 sec, and it smells like something is burning. they said...

Musta jumped the track when you moved it or sometimes a ball of lint gets in the blower and when they get moved the lint ball shifts.
To get into the dryer you first remove the door. Because the door is reversible you also remove screws on opposite side of door frame. Then you pop the goal post shaped fron panel loose using a putting knife starting up top. Then you can get the top up and remove the glide mount. Then you can remove the drum and clean her up. The fuse is mounted on the blower housing right next to the air temp thermister. Some models have another near the heater also. I have your service manual. It is at appliancejunkgoogledrive. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XM0raLH_-QE

I have a stackable washer/dryer gas maytag. Purchased around 17 years ago. The dryer is not drying clothes. Gas is powered fine and it is heating up. The cycle seems shorter than normal

Hello,
The problem with it not drying is most likely going to be a worn out blower wheel thats slipping and not moving the warm air through the clothes to dry them properly. Always a pretty good sign the blower is slipping is,if you hear a rumble noise from the dryer at start up and also that same rumbling noise when the power stops. So if you hear it at start up...wait 30 seconds and open the door and listen for the rumble noise as drum stops. also you can check where the vent exits the house and see if their is air flow when the dryer is running.

Maytag LSG7806A stackable washer/dryer - dryer not working

Deb, as long as the ignitor is glowing, it's probably your coils on the valve. Look at number 13 and 14 on the attachment. Part number for the booster coil is 306106 and 306105 for the secondary coil. Not a hard job, the coils slide right off after removing a screw and then replace the harness. Catriver...post back.
