Timer will not advance dryer does heat
For model number MGDX655DW2
PartSelect logo
Hello Robert, thank you for your question. There are a few parts we would recommend testing. We would recommend checking to be sure the igniter is lighting the gas when the dryer is started. If the gas is not lighting, we would recommend testing the flame sensor, igniter, gas coils, and gas valve. If those parts are fine, we would recommend testing the thermostats in the unit, which are Internal-Bias Thermostat PartSelect Number: PS11745959 and Thermal Cut-Off Fuse Kit PartSelect Number: PS12070444. If those parts are ok, the timer should be replaced. I hope this helps.

My gas dryer shuts off after 3-5 minutes after starting the dryer. After removing the back of the dryer, there is no lint anywhere inside and the exhaust is clean and only 12” thru wall. Is it a thermal heat sensor or something else? Thanks

Dryer Would Not Turn Off With Door Open
Pryed dryer top open and opened front door. . Unscrewed the 2 retaining screws. Pulled old switch from the wiring harness. Put new switch in place and replaced the retaining screws. Put new switch wire plug into the wiring harness. Before closing top, checked door switch function with dryer on. Dryer cut off when door open and when closed dryer started normally. . . Maint. Note instruction book should warn that letting door slam, which I did on occaision, broke the switch arm. Might save future problems.

Dryer wouldn't turn on b/c door switch broken
It was simple once I figured out what to do:). I removed the 2 screws on the top of the dryer... they were a bit hard to find. Even with the other descriptions on this site. I was removing things I didn't need to. The 2 screws you need to remove are under the LINT COLLECTOR LID. Remove those 2 screws & lift the lid... it will be tight at first. the front of the lid has 2 "catches" in the corners.

The hardest part was getting the door switch assembly to "unplug". We pried it off -- eventually -- & then simply plugged in the new one.

Saved me LOTS of money & was worth the 30 minutes - 1 hour of work.

As I said previously, once you realize how to get the lid up & manage to pry off the plug, that's all there is to it -- easy!

Save yourself time & money & do it yourself!
