View point to check burner on Kenmore dryer 110.74842400
I live far away from the Kenmore 110.74842400 gas dryer that I need to
service. The problem is it's not heating. I would like to know before I get there if the burner is coming on or not and if it is, does it stay on. I don't think this model has the lower door that swivels down for easy viewing of the burner and other parts. Where could a layperson look to see if the burner is coming on so that it would require only the minimum amount of disassembly? Thanks for your reply. -- David Farber Los Osos, CA |

Thanks for your reply. -- Anyone with normal hearing should be able to hear the burner in a gas dryer come on. If the burner stays on a person should be able to feel heat somewhere on the inside of the drum. A person could also check the spinning dial on the gas meter to see if gas is being consumed by the dryer (with all other gas appliances off). |

I was hoping there was a cutout somewhere where this could be easily viewed. -- David Farber Los Osos, CA |
