Earlier in the week, my wife informed me that the dryer was spinning, but not heating up. We opened the hatch, turned on the dryer and discovered that there was no gas burning. I felt around and found a piece of the igniter had broken off.
After disassembling the dryer, I removed the broken igniter and found a replacement online. It was a $16 part, which is cheap to fix a dryer, but expensive for such a small part.
We've had this dryer for at least 10 years, and it was already 15 years old when we got it. So this igniter has done it's job many many times before needing to be replaced.
The new igniter is really sparkly, I don't know what it's made of, but it's beautiful.
The broken one really looks worn, it's good that we have a new one for another 15 years of service!
The new igniter was installed and the dryer put back together... then it's the moment of truth!
This cylinder contains the gas flame which jets out from the tube. The igniter glows red-hot for about 25 seconds before a stream of natural gas is released and ignited, heating the tube and by extension the rotating drum above it and the cloths in the drum.
It's really amazing watching the darkness light up from the glow of the igniter, then after half a minute or so, the gas igniting and burning inside the dryer. What an amazing contraption.
Seeing the igniter glowing and hearing the flame igniting and burning was very satisfying. Wooosh!

Teach Your Children Liberty from Sin
We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us.
No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13
Teach Your children Liberty from Tyranny
Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations.
Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life. These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books.
