Quick Question:
The dryer symptom is "no heat". (was intermmitent, then nothing)

I checked the flame sensor with an ohmmeter and got the following:
- sensor window covered: less than 1 ohm (i.e. continuity)
- sensor window held in front of trouble light: less than 1 ohm (the same as above)

It sure sounds like the flame sensor is stuck closed, but is the trouble light a good enough test? Anything else I should look for?
Thanks for your time.
