    Rca gas dryer will not start
    First load dryed and worked. 2nd load won't turn on. I can move the drum in both directions. Rca model bjlr473gvoww.
    Light inside works. I have turned the buttons on all cyclyes, etc and cannot get on. There is a start button, but it does not work to get it started. Is it the electrical piece on start that needs replacemment or is it more than that. Any suggestions.
    Thanks

    Dear Terry :

    I can only repeat the solutions others have posted in the past . See if one can help you !

    -Can you read 120 volts at the gas ignitor ? (with unit running in heat cycle)
    -Check the thermal fuse with your multi meter
    -Do the thermostats all show good continuity with your multi meter.
    -Check the 2 coils on the gas valve : if ignitor with repeated tests will not light, replace gas valve coils.

    Success !

    :)
