Hi, I have a gas dryer that is not heating properly? When I start it, it glows red hot and it ignites the flame which only stays on for a minute or less, then it quickly shuts off. I have replaced the coils and now the flame sensor. Since I replaced the flame sensor the flame comes on more often, but seems to be shutting off too quickly to dry thoroughly. What other part may it be that needs replacing?

Hi,

Even if it seems like you have good air flow out the vent I would check the blower housing around the fan for lint build up.
