Maytag Atlantis dryer MDG7600AWW abruptly stopped drying tonight without any issues prior to this. My husband pulled out the ignitor but not sure how to tell if it went bad. Please advise. Thanks

Hi caitlin and welcome, you check an ignitor for continuity with volt/ohm meter. Good luck

It is probably dirty. Tear it down and clean it out. Check the thermal switches to be sure they are zero ohms. If not, replace them after cleaning out drier. Look on YouTube for instructions. DrTom4444

Thanks for your help. It was the ignitor. I replaced it and it runs like new. Thank you & have a great 4th.
