It will heat up to ~250 degrees (coming out the vent) and then turns heat off. Just happened all of a sudden, so I don't have any inclination of what might have caused this. (except part failure) The dryer will heat up very hot, and then not heat again. If I wait for a while (few hours) then the dryer will heat again. I am assuming there is some time limit once the hi-limit is tripped? Anyway....any ideas? From searching this forum (great info here!), I've got some ideas. Cycling thermostat? Hi-limit thermostat? However, I don't want to just throw parts at it. I'm headed back upstairs to test them.

All appear to be in good shape (according to my multimeter). The ignitor doesn't seem to be the problem, as I can see it glowing when I have the front panel off. Perhaps it is the coils that are faulty? Is it possible for them to work at first, but then fail after the first flame-up?
