Gene. P.S. Be aware that any unneeded parts purchased from Appliance Parts Pros can be return within 45 days. Hi Gene, I got the flame sensor today and install right away , put everything back together turn on the dryer. The ignitor glow for 40 seconds and it ignited the gas blue flame stay on for 35 seconds then goes out. Do you think venting is problem, Because from the laundry room outlet to outside wall 14 feet. I already replaced all heating elements and check all continuity, even changing gas valve and final part is flame sensor . So far I already spend $400 hours of free labor and chew off by the B...!!!! and really patient. Please help me . Thanks

In your very first post you said that "I have checked the blower wheel in good shape and clean vent to the outside". The blue flame staying on for 35 seconds only definitely points to the restricted air flow. So you may want to run one or two loads in the dryer with the vent hose disconnected from the dryer.
Also it is very common situation for Maytag dryers when the blower wheel is sliding around the motor shaft causing much less air flow.
Gene.
P.S. As I said earlier you can return any parts purchased from Appliance Parts Pros.

Thanks Hi Gene, I removed the duct put a load wet clothes and turn on the gas dryer, the ignitor glow for 30 seconds and ignited the gas blue flame for 30 Seconds then goes out and other 30 seconds glow red hot , but no flame keep repeating . So I recheck all my heating elements contuinity again. But this time I discovered my ignitor has a hair line crack at the tip and I check its with mutimeter read .76 OMH ( Brand new Ignitor). Do you think that the crack cause problem.Thanks

The igniter is definitely bad. Replace it and see how the dryer will work.
The air flow is still questionable.

Good evening, I have a Whirlpool LGB6200PQ0 gas dryer that take more than 2 cycles of 50min to dry. I have check the following:
1. thermal fuse = continuity
2. dryer cycling thermostat = continuity with the 2 red wire, but nothing on 2 purple wire
3. T-stat, high limit = continuity
4. Thermal cutoff = continuity
what else can I check for?
Thanks!

Thanks! Have you checked the exhaust line for any air flow restrictions? Gene.

Exhaust flex looks clean to the point of the wall, not sure from the wall to the top of the roof.
Thanks for the quick reply!

If the vent goes on top of the roof then the problem is there. No doubt about it. Verify if your association covers such cleaning - some of they do. If not then you have to call a pro to clean it. It must be done by a pro.
It has to be done once every five years and if it's not then it can cause a fire.
Gene.

Thank you for the info! I will have someone take a look at it. Therefore, all parts looks operational? not sure on the "dryer cycling thermostat"?
