Hi
My Kenmore GAS Laundry Center Model 417.99195100 runs but I get no heat.
I think it might be the thermal Limiter.
I don't know where it is or what it looks like. I found a video on line for one but can not find anything that looks like what i saw on the video.
This is a dryer from the late 80's that works fine other that no heat. I have rebuilt the motor and belts about two years ago.

Thanks for your help
Dennis

The thermal limit fuse should be around the blower housing.

Hi
While I waited for an answer i decided to clean out as much link dust as I could and what a surprise it started to work. While I was vacuuming dust I saw a large wad of dust get sucked out of the burner around the area of the igniter.
Thanks

Well it worked for a few days and now it sometimes works and then it won't. I tried cleaning it again but there wasn't anything to clean out so I am back to square one. IT workd great last night but today nothing.
