Kenmore Elite gas dryer not heating
I have a Kenmore Elite gas dryer. I can give the model number upon request, but it flags the message as spam if I insert it in this question.
The dryer turns on, the drum spins, the blower for the dust vent works, but the heat does not work. I have replaced the thermal fuse and the igniter, but the igniter still does not ignite. Any ideas for what to check / replace next?
Thanks.

@benzacct, I'm no professional, but it sounds like your gas valve solenoid(s) are probably shot. If you get a glow, electricity is flowing through your system and your ignitor is lighting up, but no gas is getting through. That would be my guess.

I have a Kenmore he5t front load gas dryer I changed the belt the other day and no it's not getting hot enough I can hear the flame come on but when the Cycles done the clothes are still really damp and all I did was pull the drum out to get access to clean the inside of the dryer out with an air hose and reassembled it

I have a Kenmore Elite He3 gas dryer that doesn't get very hot and it takes about 2 hours to dry a load of clothes. I replaced the thermal fuse but it still does the same thing.
