Thanks for taking the time to read this.
The drier runs but does not heat. At end of cycle clothes are still wet.
I've checked continuity of the sensor on the burner tube and it reads Zero ohms (Good?)
There are two other themostats (I think) on the motor cage.
The first has three wires - when checking from the fartherst pins this reads Zero ohms - I have no idea what the third (center) wire is for.
There is another flat thermostat(?) with a hole in it - the above thermostat(?) fits inside of this one. Feels like plastic or ceramic in construction. It has two pins and - reads 1.5K Ohms at room temperature.
Where can I find a diagram for this dryer? Not sure if there are other thermostats / switches / fuses I need to check.
Any tips would be great - I'm not super familiar with working on these things but am great with electronics (EE) - guidance would be great!
Thanks again,
G in NJ

Solved my own problem -
Checked voltage at ignitor - voltage was good but no ignitor glow.
Upon further inspection I found an open in the sintered ignitor itself. Manualy closing the open allowed the ignitor to run temporairily - so the solution is to replace the faulty/worn ignitor.
Part on order - I hope this helps someone else (just something else to check).
