Sears gas dryer does not dry

You probably have a bad sensor that tells the gas to stay on after you have hit the selection of your dry time fairly not to expensive contact sears parts

If it works to begin with and fails afterwards then that can only be them solenoids mounted on the gas assembly. Here is my home video which shows how to check and replace:

There are four main components for the heater to operate control thermostat, igniter, flame sensor, and gas valve coils if one of this is not working the unit will never heat. That if is gas. If is electric control thermostat most likely needs to be replaced

make sure that you always clean the lint trap ,this will cause the dryer not to heat... you may also have a blockage in the exaust vent.. If this does not work , you may have to replace the coil
valve .. located on the gas burner... if not gas ... replace the heating element....

good luck

Gas dryer? First thing to check is the ignitor underneath the drum. (You have to open the panel to see it)  It should glow shortly after the dryer starts, then the flame starts and the ignitor shuts off.  If the ignitor is glowing but the gas does not light then the gas valve coils may have to be replaced.  If the gas ignites but does not stay on either the flame sensor or the coils are at fault.

Electric dryer? Temperature sensor has failed or heating element has burned out.

check the ignitor under the door panel on the left side of the burner if it gets red when you turn the dryer on.if yes than see if gas shoots out and yes than how long it stays on if in few minutes it turns off than need thermal fuse checked so let me know up to this point if it works or not .

You probably have an open thermal fuse, the dryer will run in some cases and not heat, Just moving air across you clothes will dry them however it takes forever.

If you are electrical or mechanical replace the thermal fuse yourself if not call someone you trust, you can purchase thermal fuses on line from Sears.com just do a parts search for you specific dryer.
