Thanks! It was the Thermistor. Pretty simple to test. Saved a boatload I am sure.

My kenmore gas dryer won't fire. Everything up to the coils is good. I have 113v to the coils and only 16v to the igniter. Is this right? the igniter wont get hot at all. Are the coils shot? Help

Gene. Gene, I got the part and installed it. Turned the unit back on and the ignitor got red and whosh, the gas kicked in like a afterburner. It was truly a sight to behold. Your advice was spot on, as usual. Very happy I am not shopping for a local repairman or shopping for a new unit. The price was definitely right and the labor took maybe ten minutes. Most of it looking for a wrench to take the sheet metal screw off. Again, thank you for your insight and feedback.

If it will, replace the flame sensor. - The flame sensor Part number: AP2910747

Hi Gene,
The problem is just like the original sender's. Dryer runs but no heat.
I have a Whirlpool LGR6634DQ0 which starts and runs fine, but burner does not ignite. How do I trouble shoot the problem, what order should I take in troubleshooting, and how do I get at each part (i.e. through the front or back, etc.). I recently replaced the timer and it has been working without problem for several months.
Your help is greatly appreciated in advance.
Bob

I have a Whirlpool/Roper Gas Dryer Model #RGX5634KQ2 . I have tried this on all of the cycles. Sometimes I get heat and other times no heat. I have taken the small cover off of the front and I can see that the igniter glows bright orange but no flame. What would cause this to happen? My husband wont let me buy a new dryer so any help would be great.
