Gas Dryer - No Heat, Power at Coils, Cold Igniter

Jul 10, 2003 2 Replies

KitchenAid KGYE677BWH3 has juice at the hot side of the coils, but no gas, no flame, and the igniter remains cold.



If I short-out the flame sensor, the igniter glows. When I stop shorting-out the flame sensor, the gas comes on and I do get a flame.



The two leads on the flame sensor test "open" when bench checked with the meter.



Can someone verify what part I need before I buy one?



Thanks.

Hello,

The flame sensor should be closed ( has continuity ) at room temp and opens up just before the flame comes on....sounds like new flame sensor time...

Jeff, Thanks. I was able to source the part locally (my wife could not -fathom- going to the laundromat or rigging a clothsline).
