Amana ndg8805aww, igniter does not glow. Checked all parts and they tested fine. No lint in duct, gas is connected. Was working just fine before. What can I be and how can I test?
If the igniter doesn't glow, then you probably have a bad igniter! You can use an ohmmeter to test it. Unplug the dryer before you start working on it. then take the dryer apart until you can get to the igniter. Unplug the igniter plug, and measure it's resistance. If it's less than 100 ohms, then it is okay, but if it's reading over 1000 ohms (or an open circuit), then it is bad and needs to be replaced.
