Model Number: estate   Brand: Whirlpool   Age: 5 - 10 years   

my gas dryer has heat for about 5 minutes then it is gone. the fuse has source voltage and the other sensor in the air outlet has 120volts at all four wires it seamed the switch went open then closed. after that you can see the ignition glowing but no more flame. if it sits off for a few minutes it will ignite again and do the same thing
