The 79162 is the gas counterpart to Kenmore’s current standard-capacity electric dryer, adding an igniter and gas valve to the same sensor-dry system. A dryer that tumbles but won’t heat is checked at the gas ignition system first on this model, since a failed igniter is a far more common cause than a sensor fault.
