I don't know of any dryers that have a pilot light. They have glow plugs which glow red hot before the gas valve is opened so that the gas will ignite. If the glow plug is not working it probably has a crack and needs to be replaced. The dryer will not start without it.

Most Kenmore gas dryers do not have a traditional pilot light. Instead, they use an igniter to light the gas burner when needed. If your Kenmore gas dryer is not heating, it could be due to a faulty igniter or other heating element.

Does ge gas dryer have a safety to turn off gass if power goes out?

Yes ….Your dryer, like many hot water heaters and gas ranges has a device called a "thermal coupler" This device relies on the heat from a pilot light to keep it on while there is power to the thermal relay. Now, If the thermal coupler fails or if the pilot light goes out, The relay shuts the gas off at the valve to prevent gas from filling the house. The difference between the range, heater and dryer is that the dryer has the safety built in to disable the gas for total power failure. The range and heater can still run with out electricity.

There could be several reasons why your Whirlpool gas dryer is not heating up, such as a faulty igniter, gas valve solenoid, thermal fuse, or thermostat. It is recommended to check these components for any issues and replace them if necessary to restore proper heat function in your dryer. If you are unsure how to troubleshoot or fix the problem, consider contacting a professional appliance repair service for assistance.


What is the risk of an explosion if pilot light on water heater goes out?

When pilot light goes out, gas flows out of the pilot light nozzle. If out has continued for a long time, a gas cloud can develop around the furnace. When you go to light the pilot light, you'll ignite this gas cloud and make a big fire ball. If your basement is drafty, you might never get a huge cloud of gas hovering around your furnace. When you notice that your pilot light is out, you should shut off the gas to the furnace and allow any stray gas to dissipate before you turn the gas back on and light the pilot light. alliedallcityinc.com
