How long should dryer coils last?
Hello Everyone,
I am having trouble with my 10+ year old gas dryer. Back in mid September last year, the repairman told me that my 2 dryer coils had gone bad and he replaced them, and then the dryer worked fine.
Then in late November, the dryer would spontaneously go on the fritz by either the ignitor not glowing, yet there would be the regular clicks to ignite the flame on and off, yet there was no flame. Then other times, the ignitor would glow, then there would be the regular clicks to ignite the flame on and off, yet there was no flame. Then other times, the ignitor would glow, there would be the regular clicks to ignite the flame on and off (the flame only would come on once, to heat up during the first cycle, yet the flame never came on again after it went off), even after the dyer had been running for a full hour or so. Of course when I called the repair man in late November to fix the problem, the dry worked fine and he told me that he could not fix it since it was working perfectly fine when he was there.
Now after 6 months of my dryer working perfectly, my dryer is now up to it’s old tricks again. Should I have the coils replaced again or is there another problem that I should be looking at? How long should dryer coils last anyway?
