Gas shuts off prematurely. no real heat
Brand: Maytag Age: 5 - 10 years
Igniter glows, gas comes on for 10 secs and then shuts off.
A few minutes later same thing happens. Dryer never reaches sufficiently hot (or even warm) temp. Tried checking the thermostats and they seem okay (maybe bad Thermal fuse on blower). Could it be the flame sensor? Please explain... Thanks.

i always replace the flame sensor at the same time as the coils on top of the gas valve. This WILL resolve your problem ... ( is dryer in the basement ? Does environment where the dryer is get humid in the summer ? )
