Hi,
I have this Kenmore dryer and I've been through the ringer with it. I was going to type a full description of all I did but I'll summarize;
Not lighting but I could light with a BBQ lighter. For differing reasons for each, I replaced the solenoids, the ignitor, and the flame sensor. Still does the same thing. It will light itself every so often but mostly not.
It *SEEMS* to me the gas valves could be lazy? When I hold a BBQ lighter at the end, it ignites after the ignitor has cooled too much.
Any suggestions before I disassemble the gas valve?
