Maytag • Dryer • Leetonia, OH

With no warmth and long cycles, laundry was taking far too long. Restoring reliable heat got this Leetonia area home back on schedule.

  • Cause: Failed igniter and weak gas valve coils prevented proper burner ignition.
  • Fix: Replaced the igniter and both gas valve coil packs; verified ignition and burner cycling.
  • Result: Normal heat returned and dry times are back to a single cycle with even results.

Diagnostic Findings

  • Drum tumbled but no flame observed at burner viewport
  • Igniter measured open/high resistance
  • Gas valve coils weak and failing when warm
  • Exhaust airflow strong; vent path clear
