My Kenmore Series 90 gas dryer which has worked very well for 10-11 years began starting up by itself. It seems when we run it normally that it stops and works well, BUT if we leave it alone with the door closed it starts itself back up and comes on (heat, drum turning, everything) by itself. We have to leave the door open (or unplug it) to keep it off. I realize this sounds more like a teenager than a dryer, buts its a problem! I figure something with the timer? Replace it? Thanks! KH

Id look more at it being a bad start button that might be sticking some kenmores have the seprate switch away from the timer if yours does not have this then replace the timer

Hi,
If you are having problems with your gas dryer not heatingthe most common problem is that the ignitor goes bad. Even though it glowssometimes it is still not working properly.

If you have an electric dryer, you can have many differentthings that can go wrong causing the dryer not to heat.

I opened up the lower panel of my kenmore 90 and then removed the blower cover. I found two hair pins lodged in the blower and removed them. I tested the dryer with it open and the blower and drum began to turn again. I buttoned everything back up, and it is running fine now.
The only source of a gas leak from inside the dryer itself is the gas valve. They can sometimes leak a little gas when you first turn the gas on after hooking it up. If your gas pressure is normal (and I'm guessing the plumber checked it) and your other gas appliances are working properly, the dryer gas valve is faulty and should be checked by a qualified appliance servicer.
fist make sure the fuses are good.. unit will run on 110 but not heat.. check connectores and cables or pigtail. it not.. then check heater coils and or thermostat...
