Hello. I have a gas dryer that runs but does not have heat. I took apart the dryer & started it, but I did not see the ignitor light up or glow. I checked the following parts with a continuity tester (everything works):

-Thermal fuse
-Ignitor
-flame sensor
-Start switch

Also:
-Removed gas line that connects to the wall - did smell gas
-Checked the breaker, it didn't appear to be tripped; switched on and off anyway
-Checked the dryer vents - no build-up

Please help! Thank you.

Did you remove the wires from the parts you've tested for continuity before you tested them?

Does the igniter glow?

If it does then most likely the problem is a bad gas valve coils.

I just double checked, and the igniter is not glowing.

Just checked the thermal cutoff fuse, it has no continuity. Could this be the problem?

Yes, if it has no continuity then this is the culprit.

It was the thermal cut off fuse. I purchased a replacement this morning, and everything works great.
