Your Kenmore 29-Inch Wide gas dryer may not heat up due to the following reasons:

1. Gas Supply Issue – Ensure the gas supply line shutoff valve is open. If it is closed, open it and retry. If it remains open and the dryer still doesn’t heat, contact a qualified technician.
2. Restricted Airflow – A clogged lint screen or exhaust vent can restrict airflow. Clean the lint screen and check the exhaust vent for blockages.
3. Crushed or Kinked Vent – A crushed or kinked exhaust vent can restrict air movement. Replace it with a rigid or flexible metal vent.
4. Incorrect Cycle Setting – Ensure the timer or temperature control is not set to "Air Dry" or "Air Fluff," which do not use heat.
5. Room Temperature Too Low – If the dryer is in a room below 45°F (7°C), it may not heat properly.
6. Moisture in Load – Large or bulky loads with excess moisture may take longer to dry, making it seem like the dryer isn’t heating.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, professional service may be required.
