I have a Kenmore Dryer 110.87581110
The flame kicks on in the beginning, stays lit for 12 seconds, then goes out.
Flame stays out for approx 2 minutes, then lights up for 12 seconds.
This happens continuously.
Needless to say, 12 seconds of flame is not enough to heat the dryer adequately.
NOTE: I have replace the gas valve coils with no change in behavior.
The thermal fuse passes continuity test.
The vent and lint trap are not blocked. Plus, I ran the dryer with the vent pipe detached and got the same results.
The timer dial functions normally.
The air flow out the back seems weak, but I really don't have anything to compare it to. So unsure of this. Plus, if the flame is only lit for 12 seconds every 2 1/2 minutes, I don't think even perfect airflow would be enough to dry clothes.
Any tips are GREATLY APPRECIATED.
