Default Heating Problem
Model Number: 417.92142101   Brand: Kenmore   Age: 1 - 5 years   

My dryer all of a sudden stopped completely drying clothes. When I start the cycle as usual and it runs, the clothes are not completely dry. I hear the gas heating click on and it does get hot inside the drum and the clothes do dry to about 75%. Does anyone know what this might be, some kind of control module, moisture sensor, etc. Everything else on the dryer works fine and all the air ducts and lint filters are free and clear. It has just stopped completely drying clothes requiring me to run it another 30 minutes or so to dry a typical load.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Chuck

Check the vent outside the house, and make sure you have good airflow, if it's restricted, you will have to run the load twice. Also, does the top of the dryer get hot to the touch, and is there always lint around the door, if so you have a restriction.
