.gil P Enumclaw , WA March 29, 2015 Appliance: Maytag Gas Dryer MGDB400VQ0 My maytag gas dryer would start and the the tumbler rotate but the igniter would not glow and flame not start The 2 sensors that sit on top of the flame tube work together. The Thrmst F should check closed, as should the Cutoff-TML, in order for power to flow to the ignitor. If the Cutoff is open, it is usually because the Thrmst-F did not open soon enough. The Thermst-F will cycle, closed to open, and repeat, however the Cutoff-HTML is a one time switch. If it opens it will not return to closed, and subsequently the ignitor will not glow. Some professionals say that if one of these sensors fail, both should be replaced. Even though the Thermst-F may check closed, it needs to open at around 275 degress, and close at it cools. If it fails to close, the back-up (Cutoff-HTML) will open and is not designed to close again.

Steve E Rochester Hills , MI January 03, 2019 Appliance: Model WTW6500WW1 AND WGD8200YW2 Noisy bearings coming from the washing machine excessive dry times with the dryer Washing machine should have been an easy fix that I had done before but ran into problems with the upper bearing and the bearing diameter on the shaft (a no go situation). By the time I was able to get the bearing seated I had damaged the new bearing. Much to my surprise Cierra in customer service sent me out a new bearing kit. I was then able to get the washer up and running with the new bearing kit and motor stator replacement. The dryer was a matter of replacing all of the electrical components inside of the cabinet along with the moisture sensors in the in the lint housing. The drum rollers and felt drum seals were changed as well. Now all dry times are within minutes of what is on the timer without any reruns. Repair Videos are a Great Repair Tool very well done.

Mark M Port Orchard , WA October 19, 2019 Appliance: Whirlpool Gas Dryer WGD8500DC1 The dryer heat would not come on We went to Applianceparts.com and found the parts that could be wrong, ordered them, and installed them ourselves. Still cheaper than calling the repair guys. They charge a fee then tell you what parts you need. If you want them to come back and install there is another fee.

Dennis U Purcellville , VA January 27, 2015 Appliance: Maytag Gas Dryer MGDB800VQ0 Gas dryer would run (spin blow air) but clothes not heating Looked through the port in the front to determine igniter never got hot. Took off front panel, tested continuity on igniter, flame sensor, thermal fuse, and several thermal cutoffs. Found the thermal cutoff that is on the burner funnel was open. Checked that this was the only issue by running the dryer briefly with this cutoff bypassed. Installed the new cutoff and everything works.
