Jerry for Model Number 110-95081 400 Gas Kenmore Dryer When I perform the electronic test mode all the lights on the control panel lights up and the gas burner will even fire up. When I put the machine in the automatic mode to run a normal cycle the burner will not light. I attempted to replace the electronic control board #8546219 and that did not correct the problem. IF the thermistor would be bad would the machine still fire up in the test mode? If not where should I look next?
Answer Hi Jerry. The thermister is part # 134587700. It does control the burner firing. Depending on the engineers design peramiters in the test mode, it may be as well to directly bypass the thermister to check for the burner to fire. The thermal fuse is part # WP3392519. The dryer igniter kit is part # WP338906. These will stop the dryer from lighting. The thermal fuse is because the temperatures exceeded a safe predetermined value and opened for safety. This is mainly because of clogged vent systens and /or vent hood assy. outside stuck open or shut. Clean, clean, clean and make sure there are no kinks in the vent system. Thank you. Read More...
