dryer runs/no heat/gas smell

Model Number: TGDS840JQ1 Brand: Whirlpool Age: 5 - 10 years

The dryer starts to run correctly then the flame goes out but the gas stays on and discharges through the dryer vent. Any ideas???

Thanks, Steve

Thanks, Steve

That's a pretty odd occurance. So what do you have to do to stop the flow of gas?

I have to turn the dryer off. I'm going to change the coils to see if that helps.
