  • Kenmore Gas Dryer won't stay lite

    The gas dryer will lite and run for about 5 mins and then the burn go off. Yes I know the burn will turn on and off. After it continues to run a while it will lite again but will only burn for less than a minute. Then it will continue to run for a couple minutes and tries to lite again but won't. I mean the ignitor will glow but it does not lite. After two or three unsuccessful attempts it will lite again but run for a minute or less. Is this normal? It continued like this for as long as I was watching maybe 15 mins. I have clean the vent which was pretty dirty but was flowing air. Its flowing air much better now. I thought maybe since it tries to lite but does not that maybe one sensor was calling for heat and another was not allowing it to lite. Any help would be great.
    Thanks.

      Kenmore Gas Dryer

      The dryer needed coil valve kit. After checking some items with multi meter I ran down to Sears and bought a couple parts and got lucky.
