    [FIXED] Dryer heat won't stay on

    Model Number: DV317AGGXAA
    Brand: Samsung
    Age: 1-5 years

    Dryer heat will come on but won't stay on.
    Checked thermistor and temp switches. All were ok but replaced anyway, as the thermistor was not at 10K ohms.
    With the dryer apart, I can see the ignitor glow the gas solenoids open, flames up, and can hear the temp switch click to shut off the heat.
    It will do this twice and will not heat anymore times.
    Dryer stays cold and clothes stay wet.

    Is there something to check on the main control board?
    What else would prevent the heat from coming back on?

    This is most commonly caused by the gas coils on the gas valve going bad and getting weak. I would start by replacing those. Let us know if it takes care of the problem for you.

    These are the gas coils for your dryer:

    That was exactly the problem.
    Wish I had found this forum before I replaced the other parts first.
