Kenmore 93142 Gas Dryer Questions & Answers
Will start, clothes will tumble but will not heat
Run it with the vent off if you feel some heat for the first minute and the airflow is strong you best bet is to change the valve coils.The vent is not a part in the dryer the vent is was connects to the back of the dryer pull the vent off and run the dryer to test.
The coils are on the top of the gas valve.
Gas dryer with no heat: The parts that I have pointed out with the arrows are the parts that you will need to check with an ohm meter if the dryer is not heating. First check and see if you have 110 volts coming to the gas valve at this type of a connector. If you have voltage, then unplug the dryer and check the parts I have pointed to. Some dryers have 3 coils instead of the 2 shown here. If you do not have voltage coming to the burner, then you will need to check the timer contacts that feed the gas burner, hi limit thermostat, operating thermostats, the safety switch on the motor, and any other point that you can see on your wiring diagram picture that feeds voltage to the burner. The coils on the gas valve are very bad for working once or twice and then quitting. If you find a open circuit on one of the gas coils, replace them all = less problems later on. If the glow coil does not work ( get red ), check it with a ohm meter for continuity. The next thing to check if the glow coil does not come on would be the radiant sensor. Inspect the igniter for small burnt spot on dark gray or black part of igniter or check for 110 volts to igniter wire plug when dryer should be calling for heat. Sometimes the ( older style ) igniter is separate from the holder and the holder can no longer hold the igniter tight enough and the two parts burn/arcwhere they touch each other = new igniter and holder ( some manufactures have new kits to replace these older style parts ).
Does the igniter get red and stay red, or does it get red, you hear a click and it goes off, then a minute later its gets red again?....if so you possibly have a bad set of coil valves. If the igniter gets red and stays red constantly then its the flame switch that is bad and maybe welded closed.

with a gas dryer taking to laong i usually start with the gas ignitor and valve...
since you are getinng things dry we can assume youir ignitor works'so then go back to gas valve
there are two coils on it the boost and assist
again since things are getting dry we again assume your boost is good but your hold is probably getting week
i would replace both at the same time just to be sure
