Kenmore Laundry Center Gas Dryer Not Igniting


Reference Model: 417.71712510


Problem: Gas dryer portion of laundry centre not igniting consistently. Coils, gas valve, radiant sensor and wiring harness have been changed and the problem persists.


Diagnosis:

Check that the gas valve is receiving 120vac when attempting to ignite. Check the igniter and ensure that it is drawing enough current ( most gas dryers will draw between 4 and 8 amps when calling for heat ) to open or hold open the gas valve solenoids to allow gas to pass. An igniter may be weak or faulty even when appearing to work properly.
