When testing the ignition coil it momentarily shows 68 ohms then
returns to no conductivity. Is this correct?
Answer Hello Dave. No, based on the numbers you provided, the coil is bad in the unit. The two prong coil will read 1,000-1,300 ohms.
Dryer runs you hear gas come on ,few minutes and just runs no heat,,are the coils mess up? What do the coils operate?
Answer Hello Rich. Yes, it sounds like the coils need to be replaced. The coils are on the gas valve and when energized, release gas to keep the flame going. If bad, the flame will short cycle like yours is.
The ignitor glows fine, but the gas will not turn on?
Answer Hi Tim. Try replacing your primary and secondary coils, part #279834. Weak coils will not allow opening for gas flow. Thank-you.
