Hello all,
I have spent a number of hours searching this wonderful site for a solution to my problem. My whirpool dryer won't heat. I found many threads with the same problem and most were fixed by replacing the thermal fuse.

I have a gas dryer numbers are:
Model #: LGR4634EQ3
Serial #: MJ3347385
Type: B433-NAT-1206006-FM22

Keep in mind that it is set up to run off Propane.

I have cleaned the exhaust vent from top to bottom and the entire back of the dryer. I changed the thermal fuse, it started heating. I put a load in to be dried and 2 hrs later it is still running. So I open the door to check the clothes. All were still wet and to my surprise cold. I restart the cycle and popped the peep hole cover off the front and the coil is glowing indicating that it is hot and poof (this actually startled me because I wasn,t expecting it that soon), I have fire to heat with. Seeing that I find it hard to remain in a bent over kneeling position for too long on a tile floor. I came back in five mins. and the fire is out and coil is not glowing. I assume it is a gas flow issue seeing it is basically the same problem in this post [FIXED] Whirlpool LGQ9858LWO - Heat Turns Off

If I am correct this is the part I need. Am I correct? Seeing that I use LP would I have to modify this part?

Hi,

Yes, it sounds like the gas coils are bad.

Yes, that is the correct part for your gas coils.
