whats a thermocouple?
2007-01-01 12:38:16 · update #1
Thermocouples are the pat answer for people who dont realy know. your dryer has electronic ignition and does not rely on a thermocouple to prove the flame. some dryers use a flame sensing rod. with propane this sensor gets covered with soot and does not work. if you can access the burner unplug the unit and clean the rod off with steel wool or scotchbrite. other dryers use the igniter to prove the flame. in either case it is possible that you need to adjust the sensor properly to sense the flame. if it is not just a dirty flame sensing rod itis probly a good bet that you should call a service tech. Email me if you wish.

Your burner is out, get someone to check it for you.Turn off the propane to it.Once they check it ask them how to replace it.Call the 1-800 number inside the dryer to ask for more info.....Good Luck....
