The dryer starts up runs for 3 minutes and the the flame goes out. I see an orange glow like it's trying to start but it just will not fire.

After reading a couple of other post with similar problems it appears that it could be the coil. After looking at the diagram and parts list there is 2 coils how do I know which one to order.

I would advise you both replace the coils ... They should be replaced every 5 years for best dryer performance.
