 I have a Kenmore Gas Dryer (76923692) and it started not getting very hot. No matter what setting it was on (besides air) the flame would go on/off all the time but never stay on long enough to get very hot. It would take 2 hours to dry a small load.

I replaced the hi and low thermostats and it still did the same thing. Then just for fun I removed the hi thermostat and the dryer now gets too hot. If the temperature dial is on any setting except air the dryer gets too. Hot when it is on air the flame does stay off.

I have attached the schematic and any assistance would be helpful. I also did remove the vent hose and that did not help.

This is the first of the help forum I belong to that requires a fee to post but I will be very happy if I get the correct answer to fix this.

Thanks,
