Luckily, I worked for 35 years as a service technician for Whirlpool so maybe I can help you out! # Your lint screen could be clogged # Your vent could be clogged or sagging in spots which will cause steam to turn back into water
# Your timer could be bad or a wire may have burnt( CALL A REPUTABLE REPAIRMAN FOR THIS) # One of your thermostats could be bad. Your high temp thermo cutout could have sensed a faulty in heating (this is located in the back of the drum) # The igniter coil could be burnt out.( this is located on the burner itself in the front base of the dryer )
# The belt could be broke or lost tension and many other quirky things that only a trained technician can safely diagnose
# You could get a repair book from a parts house to be sure you know what the problem is, because parts houses don't take back parts.
A gas dryer that will not heat usually has one of two problems. Either the gas is turned off or the heating element is burned out.
The tumbler is working fine. Your problem lies with the heating function of the dryer--either the part that heats the air or the other part that tells the dryer that the clothing is dry.
It could be caused by a damaged heating element. You should have the heating element checked by a professional. Try cleaning the dryer first. Remove lint clogging the exhaust vent. Overheating in the washer might cause the heating element to shut off safely. Also check if the dryer is plugged correctly.
temperature goes up when gas is forced to change into a liquid. The amount the temperature goes up is related to the "heat of vaporization" of the particular substance.
convection is basically the up and down movement in gas and liquids caused by heat transfer.

what could the issue be if you're Whirlpool Duet Gas Dryer turns on, the heating element lights up, the gas turns on and in a few minutes turns off, it may go through this cycle a couple of times but does not stay on.
whirlpool cabrio powers up but wont turn on, just makes click noise
Your heating element is going out and that is why the fuse blew as well. You will need to have the heating element replaced in order for the dryer to work like it did when you bought it.
First make sure the vent is not plugged.
A second-hand gas dryer can be purchased on various online used-goods websites, such as eBay or Penny Saver USA. Depending on the brand of the dryer, prices can range from $100 for a low-end dryer up to $800 or more for a high-end dryer.
Just heat it up.
The dryer is going to heat up enough to dry the clothes and that's all it takes for the dryer sheets to work.
The best thing do with that is not to do it yourself. Call the gas company and they will come out and hook up the gas line for you for no charge.
Either heat it up in your dryer for 10 to 20 minutes or iron it.
It depends on where you end up purchasing through, however, through Rent-A-Center, the retail value of a Whirlpool washer and dryer is $1589 and you will end up paying $2210 over 95 weeks. Quite a difference!
