Kitchen Gas Appliances - Maytag Gas Dryer whistling noise

My maytag dryer makes awhistling noise as soon as the gas fires up and it stops when the gas cycles off. The noise sounds like it is coming from the gas controls inside the Bottom right front of the dryer.

There is no lint anywhere inside the dryer.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hello Stu. Welcome to the Gas Appliances topic and the Do-It-Yourself Web Site.

If there are other gas appliances that are operating properly and doing so with out noise, then it can be reasonably assured the problem is the dryer and not some other gas related problem.

That said, the problem is likely to be the gas control valve. Or an air shutter adjustment located on the back end of burners tube. Be sure the air shutter is opened fully. Fully opened is the most common setting for a dryers air shutter.

Retail appliance parts dealers can also help determine what the most likely possible problem may be. They will need the make, model and serial numbers. Appliance parts dealers are an excellent source for original replacement parts and problem resolving matters. Dealers are listed in the phone book under appliances.

Be sure the electrical power to the appliance is turned off, before attempting any repairs or services. Always check for gas leaks whenever moving the appliance and/or a service or repair includes any connection of a gas part.
