It is a gas appliance and as such should only be worked on by a qualified, registered gas technician. Call in a professional please. The gas to air mix is wrong. Techs use 'sniffers' to correct these days. You also have some sort of ignition or sensing problem. Your fixing method of 'let's try replacing this', never works and is expensive.
Hello, If what happens is the flame comes on when it first starts,after the flame goes off you see the igniter glows then goes off but no flame,the coils that open the gas valve are working while thier cool but once the dryer gets running,when warm to hot the gas valve coils wont open the gas valve so when the igniter comes on and no flame the coils have failed to open gas valve and need to be replaced, all manufactures use the same coil supplied by one parts supplier, and them not opening the valve when warm is a very common occurence regardless of what brand gas dryer it is. The part number for the coils is 279834they could be picked up from your local appliance parts store for under $20 or online at; repairclinic.com searspartsdirect.com assuredparts.com apdepot.com appliancepartspros.com
Did you get a solution yet? - our dryer is doing the same exact thing....last time it was not lighting at all and we found out it was the thermal fuse - very cheap fix...this time the symptoms are exactly as you described.
Watch the burner assembly, shortly after starting the
dryer the ignitor should begin to glow. If it glows for several
seconds (up to 15 seconds) and then goes out, then the problem
is probably the solenoids (coils). If the ignitor glows and stays
on, then the problem is usually the flame sensor.
Is this the scenario? It lights for a few cycles or maybe not at all. The ignitor glows and goes out but no flame. Comes back on then does the same thing. If so it could be failing coils (those two black cylinders on top of the gas valve assembly). There's a kit that includes both and it's a fairly simple job.
I have Kenmore Model 73952 and it lights for 10-15 seconds and goes out.
Air flow seems good, but haven't replaced the coil and sensor.
do you have to convert a 600 series kenmore from N/gass to LP
