Check the flame sensor. You can do this by temporarily bypassing it. Pull the wires off the sensor and tape them together very securely, making sure they can't touch any metal. then start the dryer and look for flame. If you get it, replace the sensor. If not, you probably have a weak coil (solenoid to open gas valve). It is customary to replace both coils as a set.

It is customary to replace both coils as a set. first itried testing the flame sensor and realize it's not the problem, you're right on the coil being the culprit,i've tested the device and after a few cycle when flame wont go on, the three terminal coil was open and i could feel its warm and when you allow it to cool a little the coil has ohms reading and will run until it open again when warm. thank you for your reply !!!!!
