Electrolux gas dryer igniter and valve repair
Six of this maker's eleven dryers are gas, and a gas dryer that tumbles without heat is a different machine from an electric one with the same symptom. The sequence is igniter, flame sensor, then the two coils on the gas valve, and it fails in a way you can hear: an igniter that glows and goes out without a flame is a coil or a sensor, while an igniter that never glows is upstream of that.

How this visit actually goes
The same order every time, so nothing is opened and nothing is charged before you have seen the figure and said yes.
-
01
Watch one full ignition attempt
Glow, no flame; glow then flame then out; or no glow at all. Three different repairs and one observation separates them.
-
02
Test the coils rather than swapping them
Gas valve coils are sold as a pair and they fail one at a time. Testing is quick and it avoids replacing a working part.
-
03
Check the airflow, because it applies here too
A gas dryer with a restricted duct cycles its safety devices exactly as an electric one does.

Eleven dryers · gas and electric Electrolux dryer repair in Miami
Eleven dryers — the largest single family in this maker's whole US line, bigger than every refrigerator, range and dishwasher it sells put together. Electric and gas at each of the 300, 400, 500, 600 and 700 Series, all at 8.0 cubic feet, plus a 24-inch compact at 4.0. Four more machines are laundry towers, where the washer and dryer are one unit. This badge also publishes a dryer error code guide, which its mass-market sister does not publish at all — seven rows, and three of them send you back to the installer rather than to a repair company.
- Eleven dryers plus four towers — the deepest family in the line
- A published seven-row code guide, which the sister badge does not have
- EF1 is airflow, and in a condominium that is the vent run rather than the machine
In more detail
About Electrolux gas dryer igniter and valve repair
One observation splits this in half
Watch a single ignition attempt. An igniter that glows and no flame follows points at the valve coils or the flame sensor. An igniter that glows, lights, and then goes out points at the sensor confirming the flame. An igniter that never glows at all is upstream of both. Six of this maker's eleven dryers are gas, so this is ordinary work here — and the sequence means testing rather than swapping, because valve coils are sold in pairs and fail singly.

Questions about Electrolux gas dryer igniter and valve repair
Is a gas dryer worth the difference?
In running cost here, usually yes. In repair terms it has one more system to go wrong, and that system is the one nobody should improvise on.
I can smell gas.
Stop, turn the supply off at the valve, open a window and do not operate any switch. Call the utility's emergency line first and us afterwards. That is not a repair question.
