97250100 pilotless gas dryer no heat - Kenmore 74602 Gas Dryer

Recheck your wiring and make sure that you properly reconnected everything you disconnect during the repair.

And how about the pilot light? Did you light that? If you have pilotless ignition check that circuit for operation.

If you have standing pilots it sure could be the pilot has blown out. if it is pilotless then you may have a bypassing oven safety.

The glow igniter should light up and after a delay the sensor will click and turn on the gas valve. If the gas doesn't flow and light the cycle will repeat.

Most likely you need a gas valve coil kit. The coils get weak and wont open the gas valve.

there's more than one part in there that could be bad,is the ignitor glowing? and send model number

Some dryers have a small inspection hole covered by a small platic cap.
Remove cap and look inside unit for pilot. Newer dryers have an igniter that glows when the dryer is turned on. It ignites the gas then goes out.

Take a volt meter and call for the unit to come on. Take the connector off to the igniter and check for voltage to those wires. If you get voltage but it does not start, then you know the igniter is bad. It could also be a limit switch. There will be 2 wires that terminate to a small disk with a button in the center. Depress the button firmly to reset it. It should be located near the burner. If it is the timer, you will need to locate and isolate the power wires leaving the timer and check voltage there. Hopefully this information is helpful.

it mean it dont have a gas pilot and it has a ignitor instead ,,,, if you turn on the dryer and dont see a glow then it may have a bad ignitor ,,, on a kenmore it should not have a door to open unless it is a old unit and the newer ones has a peep hole to see into.
