I have a Kenmore elite he5 gas dryer and when it is turned on it will not spin. Can you tell me why?

Most likely you need to replace the heating element that ignites the gas.just turn off the gas line unplug the dryer and remove the front cover then you will see on the bottom right there Is a heating element bolted to the gas valve with one single quarter inch bolt.You can either remove it and inspect it for little hairline cracks or check for continuity with a multimeter.If you see a crack or have no continuity replace the ignighet

make sure that the gas is turned on. if it is the next step is to check the fire chamber. it is a tube about 3in round. there is an igniter toward the front of the tube that when it calls for heat it glows bright red and then gas comes in the tube and it lights it up. if the igniter is not hot enough it will not light the gas. that means u need to replace the igniter.

What is the model number of your unit?

On page 16 of this manual, it tells you how to reverse the door. The model is He5 but it should be exact or very close. http://www.managemylife.com/mmh/owner_manuals/6291/KENMORE-ELITE-Residential-Dryer-L0708325?brand_name_search=Kenmore+Elite+7.0+cu.+ft.+HE4+Super+Capacity+

hope this helps you!

change the gas coils on the gas valve by removing the 2 screws holding the bracket for the coils,remove the wire harnesses to each coil,dont worry one coil has 2 wires the other has 3 so quite hard to reverse

Unplug it and check the connection inside where the cord attaches to the machine. I have seen these come loose.

Check that there is 240 volt at the plug as sometimes a breaker will be weak on one side and only produce 120 volts which will let the drum spin but produce no heat

Washers n dryers usually require some balancing after a move to the new area, and when you lift the washer on a dolly, you lift it from the rear. Assuming you've already tipped the washer slighlty to one side, checked the bottom for which side has the most metal underneath. This is best done with 2 people. Do the same with the dryer. The braces are used to help balance or to keep from tipping when the machine was packed inside a large box.

I have a Kenmore HE5 Steam: after a power failure last week, now when you turn the dryer on and push"start" the cycle stops emediately and flashes PF...
