Kenmore 80 series dryer, 110.70832990, won’t heat but runs

[Kate w]

Hey, all.  Thank you for the help with my (now replaced) washer with the cracked tub.  Time for the dryer to act up.

So my Kenmore 80 series dryer 110.70832990 runs just fine but has stopped heating.  I can see the igniter glow in but the gas doesn’t catch. 

So far I have flipped the breaker in case it was the outlet, checked that no chuckleheads have shut off the gas, and used a multimeter to check the current at various places in the back suggested by YouTube videos.  One of the leads (is this the right term?) won’t come off but angling the multimeter points to hit the metal suggests the current is fine, but I’m not certain if that would be wrong with one wire still attached.  Frustrated, I cleared out the lint for the second time in a few months for kicks (not much there) and looked for more information.

What do I do next?  I found a video that shows the igniter glowing in the same way without lighting which suggested it might be the solenoids but I wasn’t convinced that the person knew what they were talking about, and since it will require removing the top I thought I’d ask here first since I’ve got a broken arm and messing with the drum seems like it will require a helper beyond my very amenable spouse.  I soooo wanted it to be the thermal cutoff.

All help appreciated.

First thing to do is verify your exhaust duct is clear. Remove duct from back of dryer and test again and see if you get ignition. 
 

If yes, clean duct and you’re good to go. If not it is likely the valve solenoids.
