Estate EGD4400WQ0: Dryer will not ignite, will not start.

Wed, 08 Nov 2023 08:18:23 -0700

My Estate EGD4400WQ0 gas dryer suddenly stopped working.

The dryer emits a faint buzzing sound when the knob is set to any cycle and the start button is pressed.

We’ve noticed that the dryer has been taking longer to dry clothes for the past couple of weeks, but it was working fine as of yesterday (Nov 6, 2023).

I open the back to vacuum any excess lint out of the exhaust and to test any components with a multimeter. The start button, thermal fuse, and what I assumed was a thermostat all had continuity. The door switch is working normally with an audible click when pressed.

What else might be causing the dryer to not work? How might I go about fixing it?

Edit: The dryer makes this sound when I press the start button.
