My Kenmore dryer has stopped heating. I used a multimeter to test the thermal fuse, the ignitor and the flame switch. I thought they were all good, but I read on another area of the forum that the ignitor should read under 100. Another source said 60-400 is fine. Mine read about 160, so my question:
1) Does this reading mean I need to replace my ignitor? Please don't refer me to the forum that supposedly tells me how to check the continuity with a ohmeter. I read it, and did not find anything that seemed to answer the question. My reading is above, please just let me know if it is a good one.
2) If my ignitor is good, what else could be the issue if it isn't the ignitor, the thermal fuse (multimeter read was about 00.2) or the flame switch (multimeter read was also about 00.2 but some jumping around).

Thanks so much for any help

I reviewed the information for the service technician in the dryer. The ignitor read is appropriate. So what other issues could be the problem.
