Default Kenmore Gas Dryer Won't Heat
Brand: Kenmore
Model Number: 110 72612101
Age: 5 - 10 years

My Kenmore gas dryer tumbles, but does not heat up at all. So far, we cleaned out all the lint from the chute and 'hose' to the outside. We have also replaced the thermal fuse and a cycling thermostat, but the dryer still will not heat up.
Unfortunately, we cannot find any manual for this machine. Tried the Sears website, but that wasn't much help. Can you help?
Thanks!

you need a meter so you can check for power at the element and also check continuity of the element. Maybe if not you could just pull the leement and at least look for a break in it.

For a wiring schematic and timing diagram check in the control panel.
Sometimes they put it there, bless their hearts

Which thermal fuse did you change?
The parts breakdown shows two
Kenmore Parts for Models 11072612101
The white one on the blower usually removes power to the whole machine
