Ray M Marissa , IL October 03, 2014 Dryer not heating I removed the kick panel/door and confirmed there was no flame. Inspection with a flashlight revealed the igniter was damage - partly broken away. Using a 1/4" socket set I removed the burner assembly. Inspection showed the burner was rusted and the flame deflector had fallen off. I ordered both the "Dryer Igniter and Bracket" and a burner. They arrived in about three days. I had to attach the igniter to the bracket (one screw) and then the bracket to the burner (one screw). The only difficult part was reaching in under the tub and getting the holes aligned so the two screws that hold the burner in place could be installed (these are sheet metal screws so it is a good idea to pre-thread these in the bracket before trying to install it). It is a little tight for space but workable. Once the assembly was attached I connect the igniter power plug. I then started the dryer to confirm success and reinstalled the kick door.

Eric A Soldotna , AK February 18, 2023 Appliance: Kenmore Gas Dryer 11073012101 Unclear what part was malfunctioning within the heat generating portion of the dryer. We replaced all the parts involved with heat generation: burner assembly, ignitor, flame sensor, thermostat, thermal fuse, and thermal cut-off. Likely only one of these parts was the cause however I chose to replace all since the dryer is 20yrs old and likely the other parts would malfunction soon. The repair was easy: videos on AppliancePartsPros.com for each part were excellent and very helpful. One tidbit: the exhaust fan assembly was clogged with lint so I suspect this was the ultimate cause of the failure of one of the parts, likely the thermal fuse. I will make a point to clean out the exhaust assembly yearly from now on... fire hazard! AppliancePartsPros.com is an amazing place to do business... prices are a bit higher but well worth it because of the parts in stock, extremely fast delivery, and teaching videos for each part.
