kenmore dryer won't get hot?

Question

i changed the ignitor and it works fine but burner not lighting as though it's not getting gas,and gas is on

Answer 1

There's a heat sensor on some gas dryers, & an ignition timer on others. The heat sensor is the more common. It's a part of the gas valve that senses heat from the hot surface ignitor, & opens the gas valve. That may be bad.
If you just changed the ignitor, are you sure that was the problem? If you still have the old one, take a multimeter, & see if you have continuity across the two contacts on the plug. If you do, it's still good, & your no heat problem lies someplace else.
If you're sure it was a bad ignitor, go back through it, maybe you forgot to plug something back in.
I've done alot of them, & you usually have to unplug other components to get the ignitor out.
Hope this helped, good luck!!

Answer 2

Is the ignitor in the line of gas? I've had that problem with my furnace, the ignitor works but it wasn't in the gas flow, and wasn't getting the main flame lit. So the gas would shut off because it didn't see the flame.

Answer 3

Check the thingie that lights the fire if it don't get hot the control will not send the gas,Look like a rod and some our black and shaped like a loop. should be located at the end of the tube thing.
Also check the swith at the door to be sure it is not messed up

Answer 4

if you are sure your gas is on you probably need a thermocoupler
