Dryer Repair

I have this dryer that just stopped drying cloths. checked igniter...glows as it should for one cycle. checked gas valves all check correct ohm's,checked control thermostat...continuity as it should,checked high heat thermostat closed as it should be, checked the photo eye...closed as it should be, what is making it only run and light one time then wait for 10 minutes then does the same thing? could it be the gas valve? or the centrifugal switch on the motor? looking at the wiring diagram that's the only two ways the electricity gets to the gas valves and flame igniter. any help would be appreciated.

Try replacing the coils. My dryer was doing the same thing.
