Model 97591240
sensors mounted on the flame chamber and the igniter show continuity but get no ignition/glow from igniter.
All vents are clear. Gas is on and to the dryer. Power is on, drum turns and timer cycles properly. suggestions?

Hi, John.

Most likely the problem is bad thermal fuse.
It's located on the blower housing.
With the dryer unplugged get the toe panel off , take one wire off the fuse and check for continuity. If it's open - replace the fuse.

The thermal fuse Part number: AP3133489
Part number: AP3133489


Thank you. Post the results.
