Dryer gets very hot
Hi,
The
cycling or operating thermostatis often the problem when a
dryer runstoo hot, but there are also other things that can make it run hot also.
Here is a tip that I wrote that gives more details about
why a clothes dryer will get too hot.

Get some heat for 10
If the thermal fuse blew you would have no heat, I would suggest to make sure you have a clean vent system to assure the dryer can breath. Simple test, disconnect vent system and run dryer, if the vent system is the cause the dryer should heat. if the fuse is blown you will not get heat. If the dryer heats at first then stops heating, I would lead you to the coil kit on top of the regulator, then can fail but allow some heat at first. Once they get warm they can fail to reopen the gas valve (regulator). I’m happy to help further over the phone at

How do I test the
unplug the dryer,then unplug the ignitor and with a meter read it out,is it glowing?if not it could be the ignitor or the sensor or the thermal fuse located on the blower wheel housing,if the filter is on top remove the back panel and you'll find the fuse there,it's white and it's a 3392519,pull one wire off and check it with a meter,if it's bad you need to clean out the duct that the lint filter slides into,and clean out the vent line or the fuse will pop again,if the filter is inside then the fuse is in the front of dryer,take off the bottom panel,pull out the filter,remove the duct that the filter slides into and to the right top side of the blower wheel housing you'll see the thermal fuse on the left side,it might not be the 3392519 it could be a 3390719 but you need to send the model number to look it up,if the ignitor is glowing then you have bad gas coils or a bad gas valve.hope this helps let me know what you find
UNIT IS KENMORE M#417.94072300 UNIT WILL START
It's likely one of the coils is opening a break in the coil as the coil heats up. This coil will shrink when cool and be able to run again. The number for the coil kit, which will replace ALL the coils, for your machine is
5303931775.
Disconnect power and turn off gas before working on this dryer. Working on gas dryers is not recommended for people who are not professionals.
Service on gas appliances should be undertaken by professionals only due to the danger of gas leakage which can cause fires or death by asphyxiation.The disassembly procedure is covered beginning on page 57 of the manual listed at the link below. Operation and replacement of coils is covered at page 68. Replace All coils with Kit Number listed above. Take care not to touch or hit the ignitor or you will be replacing it also. It is VERY brittle.
Reverse process to re-assemble. Good Luck
Click on the link and print out the manual below or refer to it. It should give you all you need to know to disassemble and repair the gas valve coils.

How do I get the front panel off of Kenmore 72722100 dryer?
You must pop the top to get the front panel off. There isn't much that you can get at though, from the front. Almost all of the working parts must be accessed from behind the machine.
To pop the top, insert a stiff putty knife, about 2-3 inches from each side, into the slot where the top & front meet. There is a catch on each side that will push in.
No heat
Peace,
For this you need a professional hands on diagnostics!
Don't tinker with it and wast any more monay on random parts!
Service time!
Bless You ngafm

No hot air
This advice is for problems associated with GAS DRYERS that RUN, but DO NOT HEAT. Ensure your dryer ducting is clear and not clogged, first. ALL dryers require proper air flow in order to dry efficiently. If you do not have any obvious vent duct obstructions you can follow these simple steps in identifying WHICH dryer heating circuit component may be defective BEFORE you have to disassemble anything. With the dryer plugged in and the gas supply turned on, follow these steps:
PUSH START – Listen for a “click”. You have to listen carefully to hear it. If no “click” is heard when you push the start button, this is usually an indication of a bad RADIANT HEAT SENSOR.
PUSH START – “Clicking” sound is present, but dryer still does not ignite. This is usually an indication of a bad IGNITER.
PUSH START – Dryer ignites, but heating circuits shut off after a short period of time. You attempt to restart, but the dryer makes a “buzzing” sound. This is usually an indication of a bad GAS VALVE SOLENOID.
Now, these initial symptom analyses will give you a rough idea of where to begin troubleshooting. These tips are NOT all inclusive, but suited for the more common problems encountered with dryer ignition problems. In theory the dryer ignition works like this – You push the start button and the igniter begins to glow. This igniter will produce a certain current potential (roughly 2.5 to 3.7 amps, depending on type of igniter) and the gas valve will open. Once the gas valve opens, you have ignition. This is a built in safety feature of the unit that prevents free flowing gas inside your home or garage without ignition. If you suspect a bad gas valve solenoid, the dryer usually has two of them. It is recommended that you replace BOTH of them at the same time. If you suspect the igniter to be bad, open the dryer enough to see the burner assembly. There should be a visible glow from the igniter after you push start. If the igniter does NOT glow, replace it. If the igniter DOES glow, take a current reading to see if it is producing enough current. Here are the two types of igniters are their specifications:
Carborundum – cylindrical in shape (2.5 to 3.0 amps)
Norton – Rectangular in shape (3.2 to 3.7 amps)
I hope this information is helpful.
