The gas valve is opening & heating for approx 10 minutes then shuts off. I took apart & cleaned the vent line. What are the most common parts for this repair.

Thanks

Thermostats or coils on the valve are fairly common.

Can you provide any more detail. What happens after the 10 min? Ignitor come back on? How do you get it to start heating again?

Frank. After 10 min. I open the door/shut the door & am able to restart the cycle again. Valve opens - have ignition & then shuts down after a few minutes

Just to make sure I'm understanding, the dryer shuts off, or just the flame? The flame is going to cycle, how often will depend on the load.

If the flame isn't coming back on but the ignitor does then I would suspect the coils on the gas valve.
