Hello, I have a kenmore 110.72822101. It will glow, then ignite for about 30 seconds then cut off. I have replaced theradiant sensor, the thermal cut off, the thermostat, and both coils. We have done the continuity test and everything looks fine. We have taken off the exhaust hose and it continues to do the same thing. If you have any ideas, please let me know. We are at a loss!
Thanks,
Jody

On the back of the drum you should have 2 vents. It just sounds like airflow problem to me. One hot air inlet and one drum air outlet. Are they both clean and open? Sounds like you have replaced everything but the gas valve? Could be the soleind on valve is bad.
