Gas dryers use two or more gas valve solenoid coils to open the gas valve ports. Once open, gas flows to the burner assembly, lighting the igniter to produce heat.
When the dryer calls for heat, the igniter will heat up and glow. Once it reaches the maximum temperature, the gas valve will open, the gas will ignite, and the dryer will heat up.
The igniter is located inside the machine next to the gas burner tube. It is fragile and should be replaced by a certified gas technician only.
Electric current flows through a coil of heating wire called the heating element. This coil is enclosed in a metal chamber, heats up the air being pulled through the chamber and then blows it into the drum.
Usually, the heating element is located behind the lower front panel of the right side of an electric dryer. It should be tested for continuity. It’s possible only to replace the coil but a certified technician should do it.
The flame sensor or radiant sensor detects heat from the igniter or burner flame. It is responsible for opening the gas valve and keeping it open while it is burning. If, for any reason, flame dies flame sensor will shut the gas valve.
Symptoms of a defective sensor include an igniter that won’t glow or a gas valve that won’t open. If the igniter glows continuously but doesn’t open the gas valve, the electrical contacts inside may be damaged.
Electric dryers may experience no heat if the machine has insufficient power. Two legs of 120 volts AC, or a total of 240 volts, are needed for the dryer to run properly. Occasionally, this situation will allow the dryer to run but not heat due to only one fuse or breaker being tripped.
Check your circuit box for the number of volts running to the dryer. If you have an incoming power problem, contact a professional electrician to run lines equal to 240 volts.
The high-limit thermostat is designed to prevent the dryer from overheating. It is mounted on the heating chamber and will detect overheating from a restricted exhaust vent and shut down the heat. In rare cases, a malfunctioning high-limit thermostat will shut off the main burner even if it’s not overheating.
Because this component is rarely defective, check other more common problems first. A test of the thermostat by a qualified technician will determine if the high-limit thermostat needs to be replaced.
A cycling thermostat controls the temperature inside the dryer drum. It “cycles” the heat on and off to produce the proper amount of heat to dry the clothes. The cycling thermostat can malfunction after several uses and cause the dryer to stop heating.
The cycling thermostat is located inside the dryer on the blower housing. A skilled technician should test for continuity and replace it if found to be defective.
The main control board operates all the technical software components of the dryer. It’s difficult to test, but signs of burning or a short may indicate a major malfunction that led to a no heat situation.
LG Appliance RepairA small motor connected to gears and cams turns electric contacts on and off inside the timer. It’s located in the control console of the dryer and also controls the dryer motor and heat circuit. The timer’s electrical contacts can malfunction and stop producing heat.
