I tried to read as much as possible but I am stuck. Igniter good, flame sensor good, both coils new, still no flame. Cycling thermostat tests good. I can not find fuses anywhere. Is it possible there isn't a thermal fuse? I am stumped

Dryer runs but no heat? With dryer running, check for 120vac to ground at hi-limit thermostat on heater box (orange wire). If you have 120vac there, but no glow from ignitor, you may have a faulty motor switch. If you don't have 120vac at hi-limit orange wire, check at hi-limit pink wire. If nothing, check at fabric selector switch orange wire. BTW, there aren't any thermal fuses on this dryer.

On the heater box I checked the orange wire going into high limit thermostat and I have 120. The igniter glows for 10 seconds then kicks out and the flame sensor is good. I checked the pink wire and it has 120 to it as well. My wife says slowly the dry times were getting longer and longer now nothing. There is a call for heat but I am not getting the solenoid/valve to open. Any other ideas of what I can check?

Sounds like your not getting gas. Heat from ignitor causes flame sensor to open and this should cause the secondary gas valve to open providing gas to the still hot ignitor. May be faulty gas valve.
