My 1 1/2 year old gas Kenmore clothes dryer has stopped heating. Anyone have any ideas on why, or someone to call and fix it? I have a two year old and a newborn and we do a lot of laundry! |

Is the pilot light lit? |

Most gas dryers don't have pilot lights. They have an electrical element that heats up red hot which causes the gas to ignite. |

Hi Amie,
Take a look at the vent comming from the drier to the outside. If it gets cloged with lint the drier will stop heating up. |
