Okay, coldspot66, I'll buy it. I sent the email to the address on your forum profile.

Alright, coldspot66, so do you know if the coil assembly works, how much do you want for it, and by what way do you want to be paid for it?

So, coldspot66, you're saying it looks like the photo in reply #11 I took of my coils?

My dad snipped one of the wires that made the circuit loop back around the three coils so he could test the continuity of each one and determined that the failed coil is the larger one of the pair of stacked large and small ones; The one that was replaced with a three contact single coil unit in...

I tested the continuity on both the flame sensor itself and the leads to it, as well as wiped off the flame sensor window. The flame sensor had continuity and the leads did not have continuity between themselves, but did have a resistance of 680 ohms.

Qsd-dan, is that checking continuity across the flame sensor itself or the leads to the flame sensor? Also, when the dryer was still hooked up, I ran it and watched the burner to see what was happening as it was starting a cycle. When it got to when it should have turned on the gas burner, the...

Finally got the coils out and I can tell why Kenmore went with a new design a year later. I can't figure out how to check the resistance of each of the three coils individually without either snipping wires or yanking them out of the crimped wire nuts. If y'all has any ideas how to do this...

Found Sears Partsdirect has a replacement gas valve assembly for sale and in stock that they say would work in my model of dryer: https://www.searspartsdirect.com/product/31zj61wbk4-0026-110/id-685947 However, I don't see how this would fit together with the gas pipe and shutoff valve in my unit...

I asked my father what the appliance tech said, since my dad was the one home to deal with the tech, and the tech said replacement coils for this model of gas valve aren't sold and they can't get them.

The dryer my parents bought the year I was born and has worked faithfully for nearly 40 years stopped drying our clothes for the first time ever a few weeks ago. Looking underneath, the glow plug in the gas outlet would heat up, but no gas would come out. Appliance tech came out, inspected and...
