Gas dryer runs, but no heat. Cleaned all air vents, replaced both thermostats, ignitor & both solenoid coils. I'm getting 120 volts across the thermal fuse but no volts to the ignitor or the flame sensor.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If you are putting a test lead from your volt meter on each terminal of the thermal fuse you should not read any voltage unless the fuse is bad.

Sounds like the thermal fuse is open and needs to be replaced.
If the thermal fuse is bad on this gas dryer it kills voltage to the ignitor, but not the rest of the dryer.
