I replaced the flame sensor a year or two ago so was familiar with the inside of the dryer. On testing, igniter lit, flame detector had continuity, and main (3-prong) coil was in the range for continuity.
Secondary had infinite and I replaced it.
Good for a load or so, but now flame detector has no continuity and main coil reads "dead" too.
Can the new coil cause that reation?

Can the new coil cause that reation? No, I don't think so. In regards of the coils - it's better to replace both of them together. The model number you posted is incorrect. Verify and repost please. Gene.

The model is an older GE: DDG7 189slbww.
I still didn't get continuity, but put it back together and voila, it's working.
It may have been that my multimeter has a low battery. If it stops again, something's up.

I'm glad it's up and running.
Thank you for the feed back.
Gene.
