Good morning,

Have a kenmore gas dryer that heats up, then shuts off. before clothes are dry, wait a few turn it back on same problem. have verified the burner lights up, but then shuts down quickly.then turn on and ignigtor will not glow or fire. wait a few then it glows and fires then dies. have replaced hi temp therm with no luck. was going to replace thermo cutoff next. any thoughts?

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

Sounds like weak coils on top of the gas valve, will work when they are cold but not when they have gotten hot...
