Chris R Glen Saint Mary , FL January 07, 2015 My dryer would not heat up When starting my dryer the motor would power up and rotoe the drum and blower. Afetr about 20-30 seconds the igniter would come on then the gas valve would open and I would get heat for about 6 or 7 seconds then it would shut off. I know the burner is suppoed to cycle on and off but once the burner shut off it would not come bqack on unless I shut the dryer off and then back on. I checked for continuity on the thermistor, the thermal fuse and the high temp sensor. All three of them appeared to be ok. I ordered a new thermal fuse and high temp sensor thinking that one of them may be intermittent. Not sure which one fixed the problem but the dryer is functioning normally again. 44 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 1-2 hours
