    Kenmore elite gas dryer model 110 70092991 heats up then turns off?
    I got a Kenmore Elite elctronic panel dyer. It heats up and runs for about 10 minutes then shuts off. I checked everything and let stand for a bit... its been going on now for a few days. Thoughts?

    It will cause a fire. Most likely it is dirty and lint deposits have built up, as it always does, in all the air ducts which caused the main safety to blow. A little vacuuming out does nothing. You will have to take it apart. You will have to clean the drier out thoroughly or it is all for nothing. Every air duct will have to be removed and scraped and washed out to remove baked on lint deposits which is like a concrete lining. This will burn so the manufacturer has installed the safeties to keep from having a house fire. The safeties are oval-shaped with a round center part containing the safety with two plug-on terminals for the wires and when they burn open, from the dryer being dirty, nothing will work. Luckily, you have one with a re-settable safety. Look at: How to clean your clothes dryer. How to make it hot again. - YouTube to see how.
