Sounds like the vent is obstructed. It could be the coils on the valve too. When they fail it usually work for up to 5-15 ignitions, then go cold.

The vent is not clogged.
Can you replace the coils and not the valve?
Is there a way that you can tell if the valve or the coils are not working, how can you tell which one is not working.
Should I order 2 coils or the valve with 2 coils?
Can you briefly explain what you mean about the 5-15 ignitions?

Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you for your help so far.

The coils come in a set of two, and are available from a few manufacturers. One part number is 5303931775. Thats a frigidaire number, but the coils are all the same. What I mean by 5-10 ignitiong is that the burner cycles on, and off 30-40 times in a drying cycle. Each time it comes on, the igniter comes on, then the coils open the gas valve. When you first start the dryer it may get hot, but then after a few minutes it will stop heating. It will still run, just wont heat. It could also have a bad blower wheel, but that will usually make a rumbling sound when the dryer stops and starts.
