Gas dryer will not ignite
Model Number: WGD5540SQ0 Brand: Whirlpool Age: 1 - 5 years
The dryer will not heat. I can turn it on and the drum spins. Nothing else happens. No click or any other sound. The drum will just spin.
I have replaced the solenoids, ignitor and the flame sensor. Still a no go. The ignitor does not glow at any time. Is it something in the controls on top? Help  Ads By Google Related Models

The thermal fuse was bad, no continuity. Found a local shop that was open late and picked up a new one. Installed and everything is working!
As I think back on why this might have occurred, I think the dryer vent was probably smashed (it is one of the soft foil ones). I placed a piece of a 2X4 on the floor behind the dryer so the wife can't accidentally push it back too far again. Thanks Simon!

Hi.
You are welcome. And you are correct - the restriction in the air flow will cause the fuse to blow. Simon.
