Not Heating - Gas Dryer

Is the dryer heating? 

To test if the dryer is heating: 1. Select a heated cycle 2. Run the cycle for 5 minutes (empty dryer). 3. Open the door and feel inside.  If the dryer is heating, follow the troubleshooting information under the "Drying Performance" section of the troubleshooting guide. 

Was Air Only selected?

The Air Only cycle or Air/Fluff Only does not add heat to the dryer at any time during the cycle. Air Only cycles are best used for items where no heat is desired, such as items that will shrink easily. This can also be used with a dry rack, so is convenient for sweaters or shoes. Air Only cycles work better when using a Timed Dry cycle.

Is Gas Supply Connected and the Shutoff Valve Open?

Make sure the dryer is connected to the gas supply.

The drum of a gas dryer will turn, but the dryer will not heat if the gas shutoff valve is closed. Open the gas shutoff valve in the supply line. The valve is open when the handle is parallel to the gas pipe. 

Has a household circuit breaker tripped or the fuse blown?

Check to make sure a household fuse has not blown or that a circuit breaker has tripped. Reset the circuit breaker or replace the fuse if necessary.
