Kenmore 79182 Gas Dryer Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Burner lighting then shutting off
- Drum slow to heat
- Sensor cycle not ending when clothes are dry
- Rumbling from the drum rollers
The Kenmore 79182 is a 27-inch gas dryer with a 7.0 cu. ft. drum, sensor drying and a white finish. It uses a gas supply for heat and a 120-volt outlet for the motor and controls. Most are installed in a laundry room with a rigid or semi-rigid vent to the outside.
No manufacturer is named in this listing. We read the prefix on the model label to see who built it and confirm the serial. That decides which igniter, valve coil and sensor we order.
A burner that lights and then drops out is a typical sign on dryers of this type that the flame sensor, the coils or the airflow is off. We test each in turn. A drum slow to heat sends us to the vent and the burner assembly. Rumbling gets the rollers, shaft and belt inspected. The price is given in writing before work starts, and our repair has a 30-day workmanship warranty.

Error codes this model can show
Why does the flame go out after a few seconds?
The flame sensor may be coated, or airflow may be low. We clean and test the sensor, then check the vent and the coils.
Do the 79182 and 79162 take identical parts?
Kenmore lists both as 7.0 cu. ft. sensor gas dryers. Parts can still vary by builder, so we go by the label.
Do you check the gas connection?
We confirm the shutoff valve and the flexible line are in good condition, and we test for leaks with a safe method before and after the repair.
