Maytag Neptune dryer MDG5500AWW ignitor

MDG5500AWW

Does anyone know what would cause the ignitor to burn out? I replaced the ignitor in my dryer a few weeks ago and the new one just burned out. When I purchased the new ignitor I watched the parts store open and inspect the new part (he never touched it), I was also very carful not to touch it during the installation. Just wondering if my replacement part was defective or if something could be causing the ignitor to burn out. Coils? They are original.

Thanks in advance for your comments.

Sounds like a faulty igniter. You should be able to exchange it if only a couple weeks old.

How did you know your igniter had burned out in the first place? Newbie here.
