HI GENE,
I HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH MY DRYER.
My dryer runs but there is no heat. The timer cycles except on the Automatic setting! I FOLLOW YOUR POST HERE BY REPLACING THE THERMAL FUSE AND CYCLING THERMOSTAT from your company(btw fastest service ever :) . MY AUTOMATIC SETTING WORK NOW BUT IT SEEM LIKE it working intermittently. FIRST LOAD automatic setting didn't turn, SECOND LOAD FINE. I look through the peep hole there was a glow at my gas ignitor and fire but after a couple of minute it turn off by it self. Obviously my dryer is working much better than before and finally it heat up but not all the time :confused: please help!

Make sure the dryer vent line is clean all the way through the vent outlet.

If it would not help, replace the gas valve coils.

- The coil kit Part number: AP2150379
Part number: AP2150379

I have a similar situation. The dryer starts and the heat starts, then the heat goes out. It eventually starts back up again but it is taking a very long time to dry clothes. My wife noticed that the time default time is displaying 31 minutes now, before it was 60 something if that helps.
I have replaced:
Thermal Fuse
Thermistor
Gas Coils
Hi Limit Thermostat
This all started after I opened up the dryer to replace a squeaky Idler Pulley.

Any ideas of what to do next?

What is the complete model number of the dryer?

Have you checked the blower and the dryer exhaust line?

Thanks for the reply.
I have a Maytag Gas Dryer, model # MDG5500AWW.
I took off the flexible line and cleaned it out (it is only about 8 inches long) and cleaned out the vent (it goes up to the roof) as best I could.
I'm not sure what you mean by checking the blower, here is what I have done. I ran the dryer without being hooked up to the vent and heat comes out.

Update:
I ran a full cycle without being hooked up to the vent and had the same issue (clothes not drying).
I found a Sensor Bar Assembly that failed the continuity check so I am currently waiting for that part. Could that be causing the problem? One of the past posts mentioned that the High Limit Thermostat could be bad even though it passed continuity. Should I replace it ?
Looking for some help, thanks.
