Kenmore Gas Dryer No heat trouble shooting the thermostats. Today my gas dryer stopped drying the clothes. The drum would spin and all seamed to work but I had no HEAT!
After taking off the rear panel I started to check for defective parts.( I had to repair this dryer 2 years ago so I am kind of familiar with the inner-workings. )
Like the first time I checked the "easy to get to" parts, they are the thermostats. I saw on the wiring diagram that all thermostats are N/C or normally closed. So with a ohm meter in hand I started checking the stats and a small non repairable fuse. This time I lucked out...it was the fuse that controls the igniter. Bad fuse...= no ignition.
If you check all mentioned parts and all are good then you will have to access the front and check the burner section. there a few items that can cause a no flame situation..Plenty of vids on U-tube for that...

  • I have a question all the sensors are ok but thier is no flame. The sensor for flame is working but jet no flame. What do you recommed for me to do. Thank you

  • @30mtlaseca Does the flame come on for a second and go out , or do you just hear clicking sound?

  • Can't thank you enough for this video! I had the exact same problem. I'm not very handy usually, and thought seriously just about getting a new dryer. But with this video, I was able to fix our old one for just the cost of a new fuse ($20).

  • @dascottwalker Thank you for the kind comment....BB23
