My Whirlpool gas dryer (model LCR7646JQI) is not heating up. I turned on the dryer and looked inside the gas chamber via inside the pilotless hole and it seems as if nothing is glowing. I figured it might have something to do with either the igniter, the flame sensor, the thermal fuse, the high limit thermostat, the operating thermostat or the timer. What can I do to further determine what the problem is?
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.

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