Your Precious Words:
Trying to find a schematic for this model the pully has a horrendous squeak and I used w-d-40, still screeching. So I need to buy a part but instead of taking it out and dryer sitting with down time while I search for the part, I would rather leave it in, and continue to use the dryer, while I order the part. Need to diagram that shows all the pulleys so I can identify the one it is and need a part number.

Hi Gary,

In any gas dryer, if the thermal fuse has continuity, the problem will be one of these three components:

Gas Valve Coils

Ignitor

Flame Sensor

Let’s step through some tips and tricks for ferreting out which one is the bad actor.

Gas Valve Coils

These often fail intermittently, making diagnosis difficult. To test, watch the burner assembly while the dryer is heating. If the igniter glows for a while and then shuts off without the gas turning on, it usually means one of these coils is bad. Here’s the part link with a 365-day return policy ==> http://www.repairclinic.com/PartDetail/Gas-Valve-Solenoid/279834/3479

And here’s how to replace ’em:

Ignitor

Here’s the part link to the ignitor with a 365-day return policy ==> http://www.repairclinic.com/PartDetail/Dryer-Igniter/279311/3415

Here’s how to test the ignitor:

And here’s how to replace it:

Flame Sensor

This flame sensor should have continuity at room temperature (no flame). Check for continuity with a multi-meter before replacing. Here’s the part link to the flame sensor with a 365-day return policy ==> http://www.repairclinic.com/PartDetail/Flame-Sensor/338906/2681
