If it would not help, replace the gas valve coils. - The coil kit 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? Maytag Gas Dryer

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.
