I have taken the back of the dryer off and I can see the flames so I know it is lighting. However, there is no heat getting to the tumbler. I have tried all heating cycles on the unit to no avail. I was told to take the wires from a white fuse near the bottom of the left rear side where lint is collected pull them off the unit and tape them together. I did and still extremely light heat, not enough to dry anything. I have checked the breaker in the breaker box and it is not tripped. Any help would be appreciated.
