Thanks so much James😊👍

Very good video. I actually worked for Maytag in Newton, Iowa in skilled trades for 17 years before Whirlpool purchased them and promptly closed the home plant. I work on many aspects of the Neptune line when it was introduced as well. Would just like to add that touching the igniter coil with your bare hands can cause an immediate failure of the coil from the oil on your hands. So either be very careful to not touch it, or use cloth or nitrile gloves to prevent this from happening. I learned this the hard way and then got the advice from our on site repair that was called "Red Carpet" to not touch the coil. My dryer is currently not lighting properly and I suspect that it's the coil. My dryer is 23 years old and doing fine otherwise. Thanks for the good info!

Thank you! Igniter was my problem as well. Much appreciated!!

Very clear instructions and useful tips!

Helpful in that I was able to quickly verify my igniter was still working and I was getting flame. After that though (this just after having replaced motor, belt and the front felt the previous day), it turned out the clicking/grinding noise that periodically followed (turning on and off while "drying" was in progress) was likely the ignition solenoid coils not working right (and thanks to a couple of reviews at amazon with mentions of such noises). This confirmed as also after a while it became evident that the heat stopped working after a several minutes also. (Spent all last night drying two sets of rugs 20 minutes at a time and then letting things cool down for a bit and doing 20 more minutes etc. Long night!) So anyway coils just replaced, will soon find out if it's all good now…

Many thanks...had a repairman come and look at it as it wasn't heating...he claimed he couldn't get parts right now and had to order them from from the supply house and they alone would be over $100 and he would call me back when they arrive..load of bull...that was 2 weeks ago and no phone call back from him..guess what..he's not getting paid for his service call either as he thinks and will get a poor review on google and yelp from me.. I ordered the coils from Amazon for $16 bucks and had it up and running in short order.

Hi, Scott! I have a 20 yo MAH5500B. The igniter glows, the flame comes on for about a minute, then shuts off. What is the most likely culprit here? I don't have a multitester to help with diagnostics, plan on getting it tomorrow. But if it sounds like a sure case of (insert the name of a burned out part here) failure, I'll just order it right away... Cheers!

Hi Yelena, I’d say it’s time for new primary and secondary gas coils. You might have a clogged vent tube. That causes overheating and will shut off the flame.

Thank you so much for this easy to understand instructional video. You save me a great deal of money ordered the part change the ignitor now my dryer works. Cylinoid's ame with the kit I'm gonna keep them in case I need to replace them.

Hi. We have the exact same dryer shown in the thumbnail (Maytag Neptune). We have to press buttons multiple times for the dryer to perform the action. The plastic above the electronics screen gets hot. The dryer beeps randomly. And sometimes it stops running on it's own. Will this fix those issues? If not, what would you recommend? Thank you so much for making these videos!

Hi Nathalie, I think for your dryer you need to replace the control assembly. You may only be able to find one on eBay but I think that will fix the problem.

Hey there! I have a Maytag Neptune and everything seems to work except that it appears to be frozen. None of the buttons can be pressed, but all the lights work. I cannot turn it on/off or change settings at all. I had to unplug it since it just stays frozen on if it's plugged in.

Hello, HELP! I did what you said without testing the fuses I don’t have a tester to do so but I noticed the igniter was not lighting up. So I bought a new igniter & everything was fine. The kids and I started washing like crazy until this morning, the igniter is out already. So my question is, do you think there’s something that caused the igniter to blow out so quickly. Which component would cause that? Please & thank you!

Dang it! I hate to be one of these bad guys because you even look like a cute couple in Hawaii as I am on the Big Island with my Filipina. But I don't want people to struggle. You showed that your ignitor wasn't glowing in video, but your tester was plugged into it and so this would give someone the false impression that it's the ignitor. But you need the ignitor working so you can see if the coils are failing which is the next step. Hope this helps anybody if they don't watch other videos. Aloha, Paul da Plumma

Hey, how'd you know it wasn't the solenoids?

I could hear the solenoid click but the igniter never glowed. I had 110Vac going to the igniter but no glow. If you don’t have 110 volts then the coil should be replaced.

@@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance Ah ok thanks. As long as I have it opened up (20 year old unit), do you recommend replacing just the failed part (let's say igniter) or the coils as well (even though they might still be ok, but again, they're 20 years old)?

My igniter works for about 30 seconds then fades out. I hope the igniter is the problem. I suppose it can be a connection to the igniter problem, dk. Anybody??
