4 year old 30lb ADC stack dryer not heating. All appears to be working correctly, the LED indicates that the circuit is calling for heat. However, there is no flame burning. I powered down and cleaned and reseated all connections. No luck. Please help.

Thanks

Check thermostats, especially the one under the drum. They have a reset button on the backside. Check your igniter box. Is it calling for spark?

Hmmmm, I believe this forum is for repairs, isn't it? Anyway, I have ADC stacks as well although much older and this has happened to me several times. Each time it has been the sail switch. Check the flap on the lower left hand side. It should close once the dryer is started thus pushing on the sail switch. Sometimes the flap gets stuck open or the lever isn't quite pushing on the sail switch button.

Sorry ...was not aware of the service forum. I'm a newbie to this industry and this resource. However, I want to thank all for the advice.
I'll let you know what I find.
Thanks for the help.

I checked all the switches (safety interlocks) and all seems to be working. It appears to be a faulty ignitor or ignitor box. The electronics call for heat and you can hear the gas soloniod click on but no spark to light the flame. I ordered both parts from IPS their prices seemed to be good. Is there anything I might be overlooking?
Thanks for help in advance,
Jeff

More than likely the glowbar (ignitor) You can use a maytag flat ignitor cost about $6.00. The adc ignitor is about $18.00. Parts match up identically.
