This is an easy one, Your secondary coil on the gas valve is bad. So basically it comes on, and then shuts off in 30 seconds, and then when it comes back on again, no gas!!! Replace both coils on the gas valve. Real easy repair. Tom ApplianceEducator.com - Parts

I replaced the thermostat and the coils and I still have the same problem.
I cleaned all the lint inside and the blower is blowing good. I disconnected the vent hose in the back and the blower is blowing so I dont think it is clogged. need help what do I replace next?:(What about the flame sensor?

Ok then, here is want you to do. On the flame tube , where the flame comes out is a thermostat. It is the high limit thermostat. It could be our problem. Unplug the dryer, and take the 2 wires off of the thermostat, and put the terminal ends together, and then put some tape around them so they don't hit any metal. Then plug the dryer in and see if it works longer. If so replace the thermostat. Do not run the dryer for laundry with the thermostat jumped out. Since you have done all you have done, I bet this is it. It is not normal, but it happens. Tom ApplianceEducator.com
