Symptoms of a bad Dryer Ignitor include: The dryer not heating up, even though all other functions are working correctly. The gas valve opening but no flame being produced, indicating the ignitor isn't reaching the necessary temperature. Intermittent heating, where the dryer sometimes produces heat and other times does not. Causes of a bad dryer ignitor can include thermal fuse issues, a broken or malfunctioning ignitor due to wear and tear, or electrical problems affecting power delivery to the ignitor.
