Kenmore Dryer Error Code No Gas

The No Gas error means the dryer attempted to ignite the burner but could not detect gas at the burner tube. This can result from a closed gas supply valve, a disconnected supply line at the dryer's inlet, or a failure of internal components such as the gas valve solenoids, igniter, or radiant sensor. The dryer will not produce heat and will not dry clothes until the condition is resolved.

The error itself indicates the dryer did not successfully ignite, which means unburned gas was not introduced into the drum. However, if you smell gas near the dryer at any point, turn off the gas supply valve immediately, ventilate the area, and do not operate any electrical switches or open flames. Contact your gas utility provider or a qualified technician before using the appliance again.

If the issue is simply a closed valve or disconnected supply line, there is no parts cost involved. If internal components need replacement, gas valve solenoid coil kits typically range from $20 to $60, igniters from $15 to $50, and radiant sensors from $10 to $30, with labor costs varying by region and technician. A full diagnostic service call generally ranges from $75 to $150 before parts.

Start by checking that the gas supply line is fully connected to the dryer's inlet and that the shutoff valve on the supply line is in the open position (handle parallel to the pipe). If gas supply is confirmed, the issue likely involves an internal component such as the gas valve solenoid coils, igniter, or radiant sensor, which will need to be tested and replaced as necessary. If you are not comfortable working with gas appliances, contact a qualified technician.

Resetting the dryer may clear the displayed error code temporarily, but the fault will return if the underlying cause is not corrected. The dryer needs a confirmed gas supply and functional ignition components to complete a normal heating cycle. Addressing the root cause, whether a closed valve, loose connection, or failed part, is necessary for the error to clear permanently.
