First thing I would do is check the thermal fuse to see if its blown. Its located behind the back wall of the dryer so you'll have to pull it out and take the back off, It will be located on the lower left side if your facing it and be white, long and then and held in with one screw. Unplug the wires and use a volt meter to check continuity on the fuse. If you dont have a meter, just unplug the two wires, connect them together and plug the machine back in a turn it on and see if it starts heating, be careful doing this. If you still have no heat plug the wires back onto the thermal fuse and check your ignitor located in the front bottom right hand side if your facing the front. A majority of the time its the thermal fuse, a really cheap part.

Kenmore Gas Dryer does not dry clothes.

If this is the electric version then after 15 years you probably need a new heating element, they are not difficult to install and are not terribly expensive as a DIY project.

Kenmore 70 Series Dryer not heating and not cutting off

I had an identical problem to yours this weekend with my Kenmore dryer. There were 2 problems.

1. Timer was broken. Does not advance to "OFF" position on timed dry, however it still works for auto-dry.

2. Thermal fuse was blown. Upon replacing, dryer heated up normally.

I believe when the timer broke, the dryer had kept running and blew the thermal fuse. On Sears' website, thermal fuse is $5.30, timer is roughly $80.

Dryer want heat up

Hi

Things that could stop a electric dryer from heating:

- house fuse or breaker ( needs two of them ), heating element, burnt wire, thermostat(s), thermal fuse ( not all models ), motor heat switch, timer, selector switch, burnt power cord/plug.
A ohm meter test for these parts is here.

Things that could stop a gas dryer from heating:

- glow bar igniter, thermal fuse ( not all models ), coils on the gas valve, gas valve, thermostats, motor heat switch, timer, selector switch, sensor.
A page for checking gas dryers is here.

Please do rate the solution as "FixYa" and revert for further assistance.

Thanks
