If your gas clothes dryer ignites but goes off in after a few seconds before ever reaching the temperature it should, then you could have a faulty flame sensor or solenoid.

These are located on the gas valve assembly with wires going to them. The first solenoid opens allowing the gas to come into the valve for ignition and then the system switches to the second one after the flame sensor operates after heating-up in the flame.

As you asked this question here, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed gas fitter or HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) engineer to test your system and advise you whether it can be repaired economically.

If the cost of repairing the dryer would be too expensive then you would have to consider buying a new or reconditioned dryer. One important advantage of buying another dryer is that it would be covered by a new warranty period.

How do you get a Oldsmobile alero running again after it runs out of gas?

It shouldn't be that difficult. Turn the key on for a few seconds to let the fuel pump run. Then turn it off for a few seconds. Repeat that for a few times and air should be out of the fuel line. It should start then. If not, you may have stirred up some sediment from the bottom of the fuel line and plugged the filter.

Your 1999 dodge stratus ran out of gas and when you put more in it would not start what could be wrong?

The fuel pump only runs for a couple seconds after the initial start attempt, then shuts off. Crank the engine for a few seconds. Then turn it off and then do it again for a few more seconds. Do this several times in order to get the fuel to the engine. After a few attempts, the engine should start.. Hope this helps...


How can you tell if fuel pump relay is working?

Turn on the ignition without starting the engine. Listen very carefully for the fuel pump to run for a few seconds and then shut off. You may have to have someone remove the gas cap and listen there. If the pump runs for a few seconds and shuts off, the relay is good.
