# How to Replace a Gas Burner Igniter on a Maytag Dryer
Automatic gas dryers manufactured by the Maytag company come in a wide range of styles and models, each with a distinct set of features and dry cycles. Each model is equipped with a burner assembly that regulates the gas that is piped in to produce heat. If the igniter is defective or damaged, the dryer will not be able to produce any heat. Replace the faulty gas burner to keep your Maytag dryer working properly.
