The performance of both would be improved by having the Lefever felt strip modification performed on the rear bulkhead. | ||

I believe the modulating burner came out in 1959 or 1960 sometime since Kenmore started marketing their soft heat dryers in the early 1960’s. Another thing is I believe these also have the type of ignition system where it ignites a small pilot, then after 30 to 40 seconds the main burner ignites and keeps the pilot on until the timer advances to off but I can’t point that out for sure since I’ve never seen one of these older Whirlpool/Kenmore gas dryers start up and cycle on and off. Someone really needs to make a video of a Kenmore soft heat burner starting up and showing when it looks like when it begins to turn the burner down. It may sound odd requesting a video of one of these older Whirlpool/Kenmore built gas dryers but there are no videos on YouTube showing what those Whirlpool/Kenmore dryers look like in operation.
