Kenmore (796).90272900 gas dryer
I wonder if the answer is replacing thermal fuse and I cannot find the replacement part online.
After the solar panels were connected to the electrical panel, the dryer stopped heating. It turns on and spins, but no heat.
We forgot to unplug them, as they were in the garage and it seems thermal fuse would be the most logical issue? (Clueless, just searching online). But cannot figure out which would be the correct replacement.
If anyine sees this, thank you so mych!

Hello Jane, thank you for getting in touch. Your model does not have a thermal fuse. We would recommend checking the high limit thermostat, part number PS16878105. Good luck with your repair!
I took out the lint screen, and the plastic parts that hold the lint screen to do a good clean. Put it all back together and now it is making a hellacious noise, like an off balance washing machine. The drum is turning smoothly. Did I dislodge something into the fan? How do I fix it?

Hello Tawnia, thank you for reaching out. We have researched your model and found that while you were pulling out the lint screen or putting it back, the drum rollers might have become dislocated, which is causing the noise and the machine to become off balance. You may need to open the door assembly to put them in place. If they are damaged, you can get part number PS16763594. We hope this solves your problem!
Hi Jame, thank you for your inquiry. We have researched and found that the issue is with the dryer thermostat, part number PS8747887. You may need to replace the thermostat to fix the issue. We hope this helps, good luck with this repair!
Found disassembly video and watched several times. Suspected that one of the drum wheels had seized up. Found extreme volume of lint and hair inside unit as well as a dryer sheet melted on top of heating unit. Front left drum wheel was worn down from lint and hair jamming its movement. Video made it easy, not a really complicated piece of machinery. Replaced all 4 wheels due to normal wear on other three. Wanted to be sure drum evenly balanced on all 4. Parts came quickly and were easy to install. My sister and I did this together. Would not recommend doing it alone. Took time to vac and wipe down entire unit. Now it runs so quiet we have to look to see if it is operating. Got a brand new machine out of it, saved a couple of hundred dollars in repair bills, and found 11 cents inside the machine. For your own piece of mind, if you have had your dryer for several years, you need to open it up and clean it out. Its not hard... added note, we are both in our 60's... so if we can do it so can you.... Such a feeling of accomplishment, can't buy that in a store....
I noticed the flame would start, then quit after about 15 seconds. I checked the flame detector, and found the lenze cracked. I replaced it, and it's as good as gold.
It looked like a hard job to take the drum out to get at the part. But the top was off with 3 screws, the front about 6 I think. Then the front frame, only 4 screws. I think setting the belt tentioner was the hardest thing to do.
Done in 45 minutes, both the job, then the next load of laundry.
I followed a Repair Clinic Urube video except the video had a model with the controls in front and my dryer has the controls on a back panel. The difference was in how to get the top of the dryer off after removing all the screws. The video said to push back on the top panel which did not work because of the back controls. Instead I had to push up on the front to release it and then push back. The rollers were also in a slightly different place but were easily found and replaced. The dryer is now back to normal.
