FAIL-SAFE GAS FEED AND IGNITION SEQUENCE CONTROL APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR A GAS-FIRED APPLIANCE Abstract of the Disclosure A fail-safe apparatus and method for controlling the sequence of gas feed and ignition, such as by an incandescent igniter, in a gas-fired appliance, such as a thermostatically controlled timer activated clothes dryer. When the appliance is activated by the timer, the control apparatus energizes the igniter and opens a gas valve only after the igniter is energized for a period that is sufficient to heat the igniter to the tem- perature required to kindle the gas. If the gas is ignited, the control apparatus holds the gas valve open so that the gas con- tinues to burn. If, however, the gas is not ignited, the control apparatus inhibits any further attempt at gas feed and ignition. If a temporary electrical power outage occurs, if the gas supply is interrupted, if the thermostat cycles on and off,or, in the case of a clothes dryer, if a loading/unloading door is opened and then shut again, the control apparatus repeats the gas feed and ignition sequence in an attempt to rekindle the gas.
