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.

Brian L Orange , CT September 05, 2019 Appliance: Model SAMSUNG DRYER, GAS Would not turn on to start, lights came on but wouldn’t run cycle Never repaired a dryer before not really good with testing electrical components so I took the four most common failure parts and purchased. Went step-by-step remembered all the screws locations. A Phillips screwdriver was all I needed parts were super easy to find complete project disassembly replace parts reassembly approximately an hour turned it on hope for the best. I did this project with my son I wanted him to see how things work and you can fix things yourself without calling a repair man. Hit the start cycle and it ran just fine. I would recommend tackling this project to anyone with medium skills Read More... 5 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 30-60 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers
