Hey guys, I'm stumped. I thought I had the answer to my problem (gas coil), but given my symptoms that doesn't make sense (I think).

Dryer has worked fine up to this point for the last 4 years. I believe I've checked all obstructions. Took the back off the dryer to watch what happens. The dryer heats up for a few minutes then the flame goes out and a couple minutes later I can smell the unburned gas. If it keeps running the gas shuts off as well and the dryer will run it's cycle without heat the rest of the way.

If it was a gas coil, no gas would be coming out when it tried to start up again (after the flame cuts out the first time), is that correct? Is it a sensor problem then?

I'm at a loss, any guidance would be much appreciated.

Just bypassed the thermal fuse and I still had the same problem. Trying to narrow down the list of possibilities:

glow bar igniter
thermal fuse ------------ xxx
coils on the gas valve -- xxx
gas valve
thermostats
motor heat switch
timer
selector switch
sensor
