Maytag Neptune Dryer won't stay lit
« on: January 11, 2008, 11:01:58 PM »
Burner will light for about 1 minute then shut off.  Igniter comes back on after 30 seconds, but gas will not relight.  Trying to decide if I should replace coils, sensor, or both.  Any thoughts?

have you checked/cleaned the vent?

is there good air-flow from the vent on the outside of the house ?

try running it with the vent disconnected.

edit: sorry I didn't notice the short timing sequence...

Replace the split coils on the valve. That should do it.
