    No heat clothe dryer
    I have Kenmore clothe dryer series 80 part number 110.72872101. It does not heat up anymore, I changed all 4 thermostats and fuse in the back even though I was almost sure they were good. I put a new felt band around the drum and made sure that there was no obstruction in the ventillation ( the air coming out is forceful ).
    I see the flame come on and last only 15 second. And it does every 5min or so. What coul be wrong? What do I have to check? Can you help? Any suggestions?
