Actually after watching carefully, the flame stays on for 5 sec. and turns off, after a 1 1/2 mins it does the same thing. This cycle seems to be short. It takes 2 an a half hours to dry clothes when in the past it took only 1 hour. Also all the ducts are clean. I appreciate your help. Thank you.

Hi, I have a DLG8388WM. The ignitor glows and the flame starts but it cuts out after a minute or so. What could be the problem? I tested the flame sensor, the high limit thermostats and the ignitor for continuity and they are all fine.

My dryer stopped getting hot. LG fixed it so many times they had to replace it. they could not fix what ever was wrong with it. not no amount of home repair is going to help. I am going to watch this one very closely for the same problem before the warranty is out.

Brand NEW LG wash tower dryer not infighting unless you tap the side of the dryer a couple times....issue ?

Top and front already off. Why? Wanted see full disassembly. No good

I would test the igniter and gas valve before I put it all back together. Good video on igniter replacement.

I have almost the same dryer and i need to keep resetting the heating element to make it work. What seems to be the problem. Thanks

I have a problem with a GE Gas dryer it doesn't want to heat up I had changed out the ignitor does anyone know what could be the part I need ...

Thanks for help me ...

Can u help me please. I have this set just bought 2 days ago and today was the second day of using it and stop working shutdown itself what should I do?

Nice Job man! Very informative. Thank you

I would like to express my appreciation of ur video. Thank u!

thanks for sharing

I have an LG with the same heating system. The ignitor glows, gas opens it ignites for about 3 to 5 seconds then goes off. I tested the thermistor for continuity but it didn't beep so I thought it was that, however when I tested the new on, it didn't beep on the continuity test either. Should it have ? Did I get a bad replacement part ? Is it something else? Please help. I cleaned the entire dryer and vent like new... No Change. ...

I didn't have the same problem, however the walk through on disassembly and reassembly really helped. Good job!

I was having similar symptoms and have finally solved my issue. We noticed that clothes weren't drying as well as they use to...when using sensor dry they would come out slightly damp (just barely). Intermittently we would smell natural gas in the laundry room. After reading numerous forum posts, I decided to swap out the main control board because many people said changing the ignitor and gas valve didn't fix the problem. I thought that I had fixed the problem as we didn't smell gas for a few weeks. Well, the problem did come back a few weeks later. Eventually the dryer stopped heating as the gas wouldn't ignite. I ordered a gas valve thinking that was the most likely culprit. The swap out that part I had to remove the drum which exposed everything in the dryer nicely. It turns out the exhaust tube had dislodged internally and a decent amount of lint was being blown inside the machine. Lint was everywhere. The lint had built up inside the gas tube and must have caused turbulence in the gas flow which prevented it from lighting properly. I cleaned everything up, reconnected the exhaust tubing and taped it securely before putting everything back together. I didn't replace the gas valve as the original one ohmed out properly. The dryer has been working like new for several weeks now. I hope this helps other with similar problems.

Thsnks a million, i'm in California after I called Best Buy they wanted to charge $100.00 just to come a diagnose the problem, after watching your video a few times I decided to work on it my self. problem solved thank you, thank you, thank you, video is/was very helpfull. My LG gas dryer is working just fine now. thanks again

I have an LG gas dryer DLG3788DW. The igniter glows and lights the gas burner. It burns for 5 to 10 seconds then shuts off. The solenoids on this unit are not replaceable, as you have to buy the entire gas valve assembly. How do I know if I have a bad coil/solenoid vs bad sensors on the heat tube. Can you help me determine that before I buy parts?
