We have a gas dryer that stopped heating recently, The igniter heats up but the flame never starts. I'm suspecting one or both coils to be bad but I'm not sure.

Everything still runs it just does not heat.

Any other suggestions would be great.

The most common failure is the ignition coils. But other components to consider are the flame sensor and the control board. You can rule out the flame sensor by by-passing it and seeing if you get a flame. If you do, replace the sensor. Here's the part number for the coils.
Part number: AP309425

Resolved! It was the coil. I replaced them a it's working as designed.
