Kenmore dryer series 110.60722990. The dryer will start then after a few seconds, it dies. Have not done anything as of now.

This could be a few things. The first thing to check is your dryers vent, make sure its not clogged and check were it exits the house because sometimes nest are made in them. A clogged vent will prevent proper drying because the moisture can not escape and/or the heating element turns off due to overheating.
If the vent is clear, with dryer empty open the door and hold down the door switch (button that tells dryer door is closed) and turn on dryer, as its running watch the back area of drum were the vent with little holes is, within a few seconds you should start to see an orange glow in that area. If the orange glow starts then disappears within a few seconds it means your vent is clogged, if there is no orange glow at all then you have either a bad heating coil or bad high limit switches. I believe youtube has great how to videos on how to replace them, its not that hard if you have basic repair skills. Hope this helps you and your able to get it drying agian

You need to replace the door latch set. Here is a link to the parts you need.

Thanks

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.

LP dryer flame goes on for a few seconds and them goes off

check motor switch may be full of lint

UNplug the dryer, pull it out from the wall, and remove the service panel. Use a flashlight and look around for signs of anything having burned, and smell around to see if you can identify what might be burning if you can not visually see any burning.

If you plug the unit back in while your back there, have someone start the dryer and see if you can see what might be the problem.

I am suspect the motor may be failing, but it's hard to see what's happening through these teeny-tiny little wires.

Reply back what you seeing and we can help you further.
