My gas dryer wouldn't ignite, igniter wouldn't even glow, even though the drum would turn. Checked the thermal fuse and it was blown, so I replaced it, yet there wasn't any obstruction anywhere. Started up the dryer and igniter glowed now but no gas came out so I tapped on the coil/valve a few times and the burner lit. I sat there watching and after a while it seemed the burner had been on a while so I again tapped on the coils and the burner went out immediately. Now, I can't get the gas to turn on except for a half a second and only if I tap on the coils when I see the igniter glowing.
I'm thinking that the coils that I replaced 6 months ago went bad again, are now sticky and this forced the burner to stay on too long and that blew the thermal fuse. Anybody concur or think differently?
