Rank: Member Groups: Registered Joined: 10/24/2010(UTC) Posts: 1		I have a Whirlpool LGR8648LW0 dryer. The burner ignites but will only stay running for about 2-3 minutes (enough to get the clothes hot), but then clicks off. Everything else seems to be working fine. I have jumped the thermal fuse and the heat sensors. Unit ignites, heats up, runs for about 2-3 mins, then clicks off. Any advice?

Your secondary coil is bad, and that will do the trick. It is a cheap and easy repair.
