Our gas dryer (propane) will not heat. The dryer spins fine. There are no blockages on the exhaust. All appears to be working normally, just no heat. I saw your post for troubleshooting. (See Below) Do these still apply to our dryer? There are five major electrical parts involved in the heating process: 1. Thermal fuse
2. Cycling thermostat
3. Igniter
4. Flame sensor
5. Gas valve coils How to find out which part causing the problem? Pretty simple: all of these parts have to be tested for continuity in the above sequence. If any of them is open – it has to be replaced. If the thermal fuse is blown – it has to be replaced together with the cycling thermostat. Gas valve coils also could be tested by resistance. There are two coils – one with three terminals and one with two terminals.
1. Coil with two terminals should have 1220 ± 50 Ohms
2. Coil with three terminals if held with terminals in upper position:
a) across the left and the middle terminals – 1365 ± 25 Ohms
b) across the left and the right terminals – 560 ± 25 Ohms Thanks in advance for your help.
