The clothes don't dry unless I run them through 3 cycles. I already replaced the thermostat accessible in the front bottom of the dryer, and thoroughly cleaned out all the lint and confirmed the vent is clear. What should I do next to diagnose/repair this dryer? Thank you!

I have a Maytag LDG7600 that does the same thing, lights and heats at the beginning of the cycle and then the gas shuts off but it still glows. I've replaced the coils. Any suggestions?
