gas dryer


Ok here is my problem.
1. replace the thermal fuse because dryer was not heating up.
2. cleaned out the dryer vent and around the blower. getting a good air flow at end of the vent outside the house.
3. after all of this i started the dryer and it got hot. so thought that was it.
4. went to use today with clothes in it and it heated up and then about 15mins later i heard that rattling again and now it won't fire up. igniter comes on but no fire.

i hate to replace the fuse again and have it blow.
the rattling that i am talking about is when the dryer is trying to ignite. could it be a temp. sensor or someother sensor.
thanks for your time

Let it cool for a couple of hours and try it again. If it lights (heats) than stops heating in a few minutes you most likely will need the gas coils.

thanks for the help. i replaced the gas coils and all seems well. it cycled about 5 times and ignited everytime.
thanks again.
