I thoroughly cleaned lint from dryer and exhasust tube as at exhaust exit was partially obstructed. Then I replaced the valve coils as that was recommended at the time. No success. Then metered the igniter and I did not seem to find any continuity so I replaced igniter. No success. Before I open it up again what else should I look for?

Do a continuity check on the thermal fuse and thermostats. You should find the problem there, probably in the thermal fuse. If it is, make sure you also have cleaned the blower out. Good luck.

This reads as open. I metered the thermal fuse still connected to dryer and it reads 7ohm. I am inclined to think it is the thermostat since I have already tried most of the gas parts. Anything else I should look for before ordering parts? Thanks.
