Flame for dryer lites but goes out a minute later. Tries again in a couple of minutes and goes out again. I have already replaced the coils for the solenoid. Any ideas

It is most likely a bad high limit thermostat. It sits on top of the flame tubeThe part # is 303395. It is most likely not sensing the proper temperatures. make sure the vent is clear to the outside. If you pull the vent hose off at the wall, and run it, and see if that changes anything, will let you know if the vent is clear. Unless it goes right out the wall behind the dryer.

I pulled the tube off of the wall. It did the same thing. Should I change that thermostat?

If you want to check it for sure, and see if the flame stays on longer, unplug the dryer, and take the 2 wires off the highlimit thermostat, and put the 2 terminal ends of the wires you took off together, and put some tape around them, to keep the wire ends together, and to be sure they don't hit metal, and then plug in the dryer, and see if the heat stays on longer. If so replace the thermostat. Tom ApplianceEducator.com

That would do it. The air would not leave the dryer, causing the thermostat to short cycle. Good job!!!!!! Tom ApplianceEducator.com
