Hi gurus, I have Frigidaire gas dryer. Since yesterday I noticed that it does not heat. I opened the unit and could see bright orange glow from igniter, but I don't hear/see flame. I am suspecting one or both solenoid valves are bad and planning to replace both of them. But before I do that I want to do one more test to make sure. In this unit the pads on which drum rotates is on the front panel and when I remove front panel drum falls. So in order to run dryer and see inside I have to keep front panel closed. But if I do that I can not see the gas valve assembly and solenoid valves because they are under drum. What I am wondering is - can I remove drum and then run dryer. That way I don't have to close front panel and will be able to see in detail what is happening. I am afraid if I remove drum and run dryer then load on motor will be very low and may be motor will run at very high speed and could get damaged. Any advice?

Hi there, I have a Kenmore dryer (model #110.72982101) that shuts off prematurely while drying. It is an intermittent problem where sometimes it will dry a complete load without stopping, but mostly it stops at some point during the cycle - sometimes having to restart it 5 times during 1 load. It doesn't seem to matter if it's on the timed cycle or "moisture sensor" cycle. After it shuts off, I have to turn the timer knob around in order for it to start back up. I've read that it can sometimes be the motor overheating, but it starts right back up after I mess with the timer knob. I replaced the even heat control board last year when i was having the problem where the dryer won't stay on after pushing the "start" button. I thought that might be the problem again, so I bought another board a month ago and that didn't solve it. Any ideas? Thanks, Ryan
