Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QP1Z4OWjTuA
This video will teach you how to troubleshoot your gas dryer. My gas dryer would not heat up so I will show you the three main pieces in the front of the dryer that should be checked using an ohms meter. It is very easy to do and ANYONE can do this. Just to get this thing checked by a technician would cost $100. Then any parts, which are 4x the price you can get them at, plus $100 or more an hour for labor. By the time you are done, they will charge $250 to fix your dryer (half price for a brand new one). This job takes 1hr if you take your time, and the parts cost under $10.
Here is where to get the multimeter tester: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001O1X65A/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001O1X65A&linkCode=as2&tag=chri0e2-20&linkId=L3A3XFVJXIFWVON7

Not all gas dryers have a whole to check the glow.

Bro!! First you fixed my car now my dryer…. Damn the service you provide has no limits..Thanks man.
I helped to check gas solenoid and fix. Thanks.
After watching your video, I took a chance and tested my circuits and found the bad part and ordered one for $5 and got it on today. We have heat!! Thank you for showing me how easy it was to fix it myself, saved me a lot of $$.
thank you so much for the helpful video! I thought it would be too complicated for me to try, but after watching, I am going to give it a try!
ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO. I saw your first one and was able to remove the back and test all the components which all had continuity and are good. I vacuumed it all and put the back on. After looking at this video I will remove the front and test the components tomorrow. Any recommendations as to where to purchase the parts?? Thanks again your videos have given me the confidence to try to do the repairs myself.
Thanks so much. Mine is a front loader. Is that the same concept ?
Wonderful videos. Thank you
Wish my son was like you!😣
I bought the M Series New Style Coil Kit twice, both times I received failed parts, how can I find a working Coil Kit?
Hi Chris – our 6-month-old GE Gas Dryer heats for about 10 minutes and then stops heating. I called GE Warranty and one of their techs had me replace the ducting which I did. But still the same problem – after about 10 minutes of heating it goes cold. I've also tested with no ducting to eliminate that as a problem but the same issue persists. We're going on a month now with the warranty visits from GE but no no luck. When they come they test it empty and it works. But we put wet clothes in and the heating only lasts 10 minutes. Any ideas? Thanks.
