My dryer runs but there is no heat. The timer cycles except on the Automatic setting. There was no glow at the gas ignitor so I replaced it. Still no glow. Any ideas ????? A sensor maybe? Any help would be much appreciated!

The first thing I would check for continuity is the thermal fuse (#7 on the bulkhead parts break down diagram).

If the thermal fuse is blown, it has to be replaced together with the cycling thermostat (#9 on the bulkhead parts break down diagram).

- The part number for the thermal fuse is AP3132867

- The part number for the cycling thermostat is AP3131939

Here are the break down diagrams for the Whirlpool dryer Model LGR7648KQ1

It was the thermal fuse!!! Thank you for all the links you posted also. Was a major help. Repaired for less than a service call only! My dryer now runs just like it did before... :)

Hi missieann33,

In order to provide the most accurate advise I need the complete model number of the dryer.

Post it as a new thread, please.

Gene.

My dryer stopped heating again. I have changed the thermal fuse again and the cycling thermostat. It will cycle once and then does not heat again. The ignitor glows but it does not kick in the gas to heat.

Is this the heat coil?

Yes, most likely the problem is a bad gas valve coils. Also make sure there is no obstructions in the vent lines and the blower housing is clean.

- The part number for the coil kit is AP2150379
