We had the same or similar Whirlpool but in electric. It was a great dryer. I especially like the pull down door. |

My 81 Kenmore did exactly that. There was a restriction in the exhaust duct which (assuming) caused the high temp thermo to kick in. The restriction was between the duct where the lint filter connects to the exhaust duct (connection is behind the rear panel). Found a huge ball of lint as well as all kinds of goodies including a live .22 shell.

My older sister has that dryer in electric at her guest house. She used to have the matching washer to it, but that is gone now. Have a good one, James |

My sister had that problem with hers which is hooked-up to a propane supply. The dryer was never properly converted for propane. It was set for natural gas. |

Does the ignitor come on? Two usual culprits are the split coils, the solinoids Kenmore81 mentions on the gas valve in the front. Many times, it is simply the thermal fuse on the back by the main operating thermostat by the blower housing. It is the white strip with two wire terminals. EVEN if you read continuity over this fuse, it can be bad. It is redundant, buggy and unnecessary. Clip, Clip, Strip, Strip, nut wire. matt
