My dryer won't stay hot after 8-15 mins it still spins but will not get hot,in either timed or sensor mode of drying. i've checked the electrical components and they all short out like they should, i've even run it and let it get hot then quit and checked all the components and they are fine. while cold the 2 pin coil has 1273 ohms the 3 pin on pins 1-2 is 1372 ohms and pin1-3 is 562 ohms I have not checked this while hot. what else can I check. I have cleaned this out just like it was new

Hi.

Run the dryer until it quits and check if the ignitor is cycling on and off but no gas.
If this is the case - replace the control coils
