my kenmore dryer ignites runs for awhile then wont reheat. let it sit for a few minutes and it will heat again for awhile

Hi,
You most likely have a bad coil on the burner. I hope this helps. If I can help with anything else please let me know.

This is probably the gas valve not working right. I would replace it. The ignitor is working and turning on the valve but it doesn't stay on.

Check your heating element. #1 cause for no heat. Easy to replace and ea VERY easy to break. Just for your own well being also make sure that gas pressure us correct

The heat is regulated with a Klixon mounted next to the blower housing near the vent pipe so it can judge the temperature of the air coming out of the drum.Right next to it is a melting type fuse. If the dryer runs and gets too hot the fuse will melt.But the dryer will still run. So if the fuse is good(continuity) and the dryer control(cycle) thermostat is also good then you should have power going to the gas valve assembly when the machine is running unless the timer is in the no heat or wrinkle free/cool down mode. When the gas valve assembly is energized the flame sensor flame sensor mounted outside the burner chamber detects the heat from the ignitor. When the heat is very intense then the sensor shuts down the igniter
Igniter and that frees up the power so that the coils can be fully energised and open the gas gates. The gas comes out and hits the red hot igniter and you have ignition. It stays on for maybe 2 or 3 minutes or until the control thermostat is satisfied and shuts down power to the gas valve assembly.

If your gas dryer has a good flame sensor and a good igniter AND the dryer will work some and quit, replace these: Gas operator coils The coils get hot and quit on these machines when they get a little age on them. It is aggrevating because it is a hard to diagnose thing. But well worth the 20 bucks.

if you ran this unit awhile without timer advancing,,now you blew the thermal fuse,,,re place thermal fuse and timer..
