I just replaced the solenoids on my dryer and the flame is orange now. Before the repair I remember it having a lot more blue.

The burner had only worked for a few minutes and needed about 45 minutes between it igniting. Now it fires up no problem but doesn't look like I remember (and from what I've read what it should).

No type of air or gas adjustments that I'm aware of.

I think it should clear up after it has run a bit. The orange typically reflects the dust that has been disturbed and it is now burning. If you want to see it happen, tap on the gas line with a wrench or hammer and watch the flame change to orange.

It cleared up.
I vacuumied it out when replacing the solenoids. It must have stirred up a bunch of lint too.

Thanks for the help.
