whirlpool dryer......blowing fuses
model no. LGR4634EQO
serial no. MG1866458
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.
