KM 800 Gas Dryer
Roberts NEW KM gas dryer should have a direct spark ignition modulating flame 25,000 BUT burner. For anyone that has not seen one of the modulating burners work you are missing out on the best burner system ever put in a gas dryer, AND only Kenmore ever had it. There were only a hand full of WP gas dryers and gas combos that ever got this feature.
With this burner the flame comes on a full 25,000 BUTs and an exhaust sensor bulb that is filled with a freon like gas heats up as the clothes dry. This building gas pressure in the bulb exerts pressure on a needle in side the gas burners main orifice to reduce the flow of gas, but the flame never goes out completely until the dryer gets to the cool down. The flame will actually tapper down to around just 3,000 BTUs but the heat is constant as the clothing finishes drying. With this system it is much liking on your stove top where you reduce the heat as the cooking process continues, rather than turning the heat on full blast and then turning it off and on off and on etc.
