Roper gas dryer not heating

There are three main culprits that could be your problem: Unplug your dryer and first, check the thermal fuse located on the blower assembly. It's about an inch long, white plastic piece that has two terminals sticking up. Disconnect one of the leads to it and use an ohmeter to check continuity. It should read a short if it's good. If that's not it, hook the lead back up that you took off to test the thermal fuse, plug your dryer back into the outlet and turn on your dryer and watch your glow bar. It should glow brightly. If it doesn't, then replace the glow bar. If it does glow brightly, but you still aren't getting any flame, replace the gas valve coils. If, that doesn't do it, then the final most likely culprit is the flame sensor (also called a "radiant sensor").

Good luck!

Hi,
The problem is the ignitor...

Check out this tip that I wrote about that problem...

Replace this fuse after clearing the air restriction

Hello, If your igniter is glowing does not mean it's good, Take a look at it while it is glowing..Is it orange in color..Uneven glow? then it's bad...the igniter needs to be pulling 3.5 amps in order for a) the gas valve to open B) gas to ignite once gas valve opens. The glow should be a brillient yellow that you find hard to look at. If the igniter is bad the only other possibilty is the flame sensor. It is the gadget hooked to the side of the tube where the flame is. Using an ohms meter disconnect the 2 wires from the terminals and check for condinuity..If you have no reading (condinuity) you should replace it. Good Luck!!! If you have any other questions or concerns please feel free to comment again. Mike

The first thing I would check is the thermal fuse (#6 on the bulkhead parts break down diagram). Replace if it's open.
Also, the manufacturer recommended to replace the cycling thermostat (#8 on the bulkhead parts break down diagram) too if the thermal fuse is open.

- The part number for the thermal fuse AP3132867

- The part number for the cycling thermostat AP3131939


- Here are the break down diagrams for the Roper dryer Model RGX4634KQ2

IT EXITS THE HOUSE.

its a gas dryer it doesnt have ,,heating element...replace thermal fuse

ck whiten thermal fuse on blkower housing of dryer may be behind back panel..if fuse of ck the flame sensor with volt ohm meter should show a complete circuit..or just jump it out in any case should be 110volts fed to connector going to valve ..also may be bad ignitor (glow plug)may show burnt spot

suspect coils on gas valve if ignitor glows timer is working

huntman, the model posted shows as a gas dryer. In the lower left side there is a square plastic peep hole. Take a putty knife and pull it off. Set the dryer to high heat and take a look in the hole. Does the ignitor glow? If it doesn't you either have a bad thermal fuse or a bad ignitor. Start with the thermal fuse. You will have to remove the back panel to get at it. I will attach a photo. You can ohm it out, or just jump the wires temp. to see if the ignitor glows. If theral fuse is good and the ignitor does glow, you probabley have a bad set of coils. These sit on the gas valve are easy to replace. The timer won't advance without the heat. Check this out first...Catriver..post back.
