The dryer igniter isresponsible for igniting gas released from the burner valve.It receives electricity from the timer through a thermal fuse. If the dryer igniter is heating up it is not the cause of a no heat or low heat problem
[email protected]Gas dryers use a set of solenoids (also called safety coils) to open the dryer's gas valve automatically after the flame switch has opened,indicating that the igniter is hot enough to ignite released gas. As safety coils are going bad, they will work properly for a short period of time
