My Kenmore auto dry I no longer gets hot. I assume the pilot light went out. How do I re-light the pilot?

Probably the Moisture Sensor Bar has failed.

The water heater uses a thermocouple to generate a small voltage from the pilot light. This voltage is used to blink the led and allow the main gas jet to turn on. Either your thermocouple or the wiring from it has failed and needs to be replaced, or realigned if perhaps it moved out of position above the pilot light.

It most likely features auto ignition How it works and what usually goes wrong

The thermal element that gets red hot and lights the pilot (assuming you have pilot flame) is cracked or broken. It is possible to light with a match but a nuisance.

did u clean machine filters? in the back of your machine there is a big silver pipe itmay need to be clean too

There is not pilot on a gas dryer. You are right on the starter issue. It is the ignator on your gas dryer. Those are not cheap to fix, or to repair.

Hi
Please, the heater seems not working "
My Kenmore Elite he3 is no longer drying clothes", what I need to check or do? thank you.

It is most likely the water valve stuck open, telling the controls to heat water, that it thinks is flowing through it, but without actual flow it overheats. Depending on how comfortable you are with taking it apart yourself, you could open the valve to see if it just needs cleaned out, or if you have a ruptured diaphragm or some other cause.

theres no standing pilot in dryers is it on a heat setting or air dry .then look thru that small hole while in aheat setting on the timer. when you press the start button you will hear two clicks the see the glow ignitor glowing.if its not glowingyou would need to check voltage at the ignitor if no voltage problem will be thermol cut out fuse

Part of the problem was my own ignorance about this particular Kenmore gas oven. It doesn't even have a pilot light. Instead, there is an electric heating element close to the burner which gets so hot that it ignites the gas. It seems that the heating element also doubles as a temperature sensor, so that it opens the gas valve only when the heating element is hot enough to ignite the gas. This heating element, called the "ignitor", no longer gets hot in my oven even though there is 120VAC applied to it when the oven knob is turned on. Therefore, the ignitor is defective. I ordered a new one on-line from "Appliance Parts of America" for $31.50 plus shipping, and this should fix the problem. If it does NOT, I'll add to this post.
