Is there a pilot light on a kenmore gas dryer?

Most Kenmore gas dryers do not have a traditional pilot light. Instead, they use an igniter to light the gas burner when needed. If your Kenmore gas dryer is not heating, it could be due to a faulty igniter or other heating element.


Explain how a thermo couple divice work?

A thermocouple (or thermal couple) uses a principal called the Seebeck effect, where a voltage is generated in a conductor due to a temperature difference. Different metals generate different voltages, so by combining two different metals in the thermocouple, a voltage difference is generated between the leads of the thermocouple, proportional to the temperature difference. An example of one practical use of thermocouples is in controlling gas pilot lights: A "thermal couple" ( or "thermal coupling" ) is used to sustain a "pilot light" on a gas appliance e.g. a hot water boiler. The thermal couple is heated at one end by the pilot light and generates a small electrical charge that is passed down an internal copper filament to a valve in the gas supply. The valve remains open as long as the electrical current is present in order to supply gas to the pilot light. If the pilot light goes out or the thermal couple fails, the valve shuts off the gas. When you first light a pilot light, the thermal couple is usually heated by opening the gas supply by manually pressing a button and the gas ignited by means of say, a match. You maintain the gas supply by holding the button until the thermal couple heats up enough to generate the electrical charge that keeps the gas supply valve open to the pilot light.


What are the dangers of methane in the atmosphere?

it depends on how much methane gas is there because some campers use methane gas to light a fire if theirs a lot there is no risk its just get the heck out of there!


What is the difference between gas and natural gas and if your wall heater's pilot is too big maybe 8 how can you lower it to maybe 1?

In the United States their is only Natural Gas and Propane Gas. If you don't have a Propane Tank in your yard you have Natural Gas. If you have a propane gas furnace and want to change it to a Natural Gas furnace you have to have a heating/ac guy do it or you could burn your house down. The change in pilot size is directly proportional to the btu output of your furnace and is custom sized for each different make and model (1000's of different models in the US)


What gas plants produce in the light?

Plants make oxygen when they use light and carbon dioxide to make food for themselves.

How do you light a pilot light on a gas stove?

To light a pilot light on a gas stove, locate the pilot light assembly near the burner. Turn the gas knob to the "pilot" position and press it down. While holding the knob down, use a long lighter to ignite the pilot light. Keep the knob pressed for about 30 seconds to allow the pilot light to stay lit. Release the knob and adjust the flame as needed.
