I bet your problem is that you have air in the gas line to the dryer. You will need to bleed the line to remove all the air before the pilot will light. This can be done by holding the lever in open position for several minutes. I have found that a screw driver handle can be placed between the lever and the valve body to hold the valve open. Wait until you smell gas, then close the valve and wait a few minutes before trying to light the pilot.

Yeah, I have to find out which "stash" they're in. I divided up the Maytag parts into 3 different sections. The "Will" use section, the "Maybe" use section, and the probably "Won't" use section. I'll find 'em. BTW, is there a quick and dirty way to bench test the capillary tube? I'd hate to send out a faulty part. | ||
