John L. I believe it is glow coil ignition, but not 100% sure. Where is the serial number plate located?

With the correct blower motor belt, dryer seems to run quieter and smoother than yesterday. Here's a pic of the burner about midway thru the timed cycle.

Installed the replacement blower motor belt I picked up and that seemed to do the trick. The belt that was on it looks more like an automobile fan belt compared to the correct one. Whew! Thought maybe she was done for.

John L. thanks for the troubleshooting advice. I took the blower motor belt off and the drum starting spinning easily when I pressed "start". What next? Blower motor belt tension to snug, maybe? Is there adjustment on the blower motor belt tension?

Well she completed two drying cylces like a champ yesterday, but when I tried to run it this evening and shoot video of the igniter, not so much. When I push the start button the motor attempts to run but then shuts down. I then unplugged it, manually moved the blower motor belt and drum and...

Supplied gas today and she seems to be heating up and working fine. Thanks Maytag85 for the spare belt suggestion, was able to find one for both the blower and drum.

I was able to remove the half that was attached to the hoses, and found the check valve that appears to be the exactly the same (FSP 89888). I guess I need to remove the tub now to get to the other half. Is there anything I need to know to accomplish this?

I did do a complete clean and visual inspection with all panels removed. It was dirty, but no rust corrosion to speak of. Door and sides have some paint discoloration, but not too bad. Gonna be a week give or take before I can get it into place where the gas is. Won't get used for more than a...

Found and repaired a broken wire terminal on the timer dial while cleaning. Now unit seems to start and spin fine. Haven't tried gas connection yet, but ignitor appears in good shape. Even found a burned out bulb behind the drum that is now functional. The display panel bulb was bad too, have...

Thanks for the info. Here are a couple pics. Haven't been able to confirm year. Guess would be '63.

I recently picked up an early 60's Lady Kenmore 800 turquoise gas dryer. I removed all panels and cleaned it up the best I could. It appears to be all there. Seller claimed it was in working order when removed from service. Any advice as to what to check for when I hook up gas and attempt to use...
