HOW A TYPICAL GAS BURNER FUNCTIONS IN A CLOTHES DRYER

Most dryer burners currently in use are of the "dual valve" type. The pilot and main burner passageways are interdependent and are cast within the same housing. Each has its own operating solenoid. In the dryer gas burner is in the off position. Both pilot and main burner solenoids are de-energized.
Turning the dryer on activates the pilot solenoid and the igniter. The dryer safety switch and the flame switch must be in their closed (cold) positions, as illustrated. The heat from the glow coil, often a tungsten-rhodium filament, ignites the gas at the pilot orifice. The flame heats the sealed tube of the flame switch, causing a diaphragm to begin to expand; and a circuit is established to the heater within the dryer safety switch, causing the contact arm to begin to warp open. If the flame switch contacts do not transfer to the hot side within approximately three minutes, the safety switch contacts warp open and the dryer pilot coil is de-energized.
In the pilot flame has caused the dryer flame switch to transfer and the glow coil and safety switch heater are removed from the circuit. The main dryer burner solenoid is energized through a circuit controlled by the operating thermostat of the dryer, which cycles it as needed. Both pilot and main-burner solenoids must be energized for the burner to operate. The dryer pilot valve is held open through a circuit that includes the pilot resistor. The voltage drop is sufficient to hold the valve open, but not sufficient to raise it again. If it should drop, as it would if the door were opened, for instance, it would shut off all gas flow. When the burner cooled and the dryer flame switch transferred back to cold, the ignition process would be safely repeated.
Many late-model dryers use direct ignition systems that omit the pilot flame and provide even faster safety shut-down if the dryer pilot fails to ignite.

DRYER VENTING

Venting is of utmost importance to obtaining maximum performance from your dryer. If you are moving your dryer or buying a new one, pay particular attention to the length and size of the exhaust vent most manufacturers recommend a maximum length of around 16 feet for aluminum vent, including two elbows and exhaust hood. Deduct 2 feet for each additional elbow, and don't exceed four elbows. For flexible ducting material, where permitted, the maximum length should be about half that for aluminum. A few do's and don'ts to remember:
• The shorter the vents, the better but always get the exhaust outside of your house. All the moisture removed from the clothing is carried out in the dryer exhaust air. If this is dumped into a restricted area such as a crawl space, it may eventually cause structural damage and/or other related problems, such as a lint buildup, a potential fire hazard.
• A vent that is too long will restrict air flow, resulting in greatly increased drying times and requiring frequent clean-out to remove lint blockage.
• Don't use screws when joining sections of vent pipe they, too, can contribute to lint buildup.
• Never try to get by withhold venting a dryer. The lack of dryer venting will cause fall lint buildup within the dryer and will greatly increase the humidity of intake air, reducing its ability to absorb from the clothing. This can also cause dryer controls to sense incorrect, and in extreme cases has initially stopped, it’s a good feature it allows you to go to the store and gives vole sonic leeway without having to be concerned about your items becoming wrinkled because you aren't there to remove them from the dryer as soon as it stops.
