all about brick - if the dryer runs and the drum rotates( and burner is lit) # 1-you
Could have a faulty burneruseally if you have a flame <then it is caused by the
Air shutter in the burner:and need to be adjusted::( note - inproper mixture
Of the air and gas in the burner leads
To poor combustion and inefficient
Heating ) #2 - to correct the mixture
Adjust the shutter in the burner so that you have a ( light blue flame and
No yellow tips and does not have any
Kind of roar sound ) to adjust the shutter- loosen the thumb screw and moveing the shutter so that the proper amount of { air } can enter the chamber< then tighten the thumb screw back down :: if the dryer keeps on heating poorly,and the rest of the dryer works :: call a appliance repairman that works on gas dryers ::stay safe < don't need another man on the moon :
Good luck and god bless ::f.b.e. p.s.- to adjust the shutter < loosen the thumb screw on the shutter and slide the shutter until you have the proper flsam as written above :: don't smoke while working :f.b.e.:)
