I have a Kenmore Gas Dryer Series 80 (Model 110.72812101) that seems to be running too hot. I cleaned out all the lint in the unit and exhaust line. It fires up and runs but does not appear to be cycling. I tested the cycling thermostat and it opens at 155F and recloses when cooler. The high temp thermostat shuts down the dryer after about 10-15 minutes. I had previously (5-10 years ago) replaced the solenoid coils but assume that they would fail closed (no gas). Could the coils fail open when hot? Could there be a problem with the control panel electronics? Really need some direction as my wife expects me to fix the beast again. Thanks. Mark

Does the dryer start back up immediately or does it have to cool down before it will restart? If it starts immediately after stopping, it is possible that the failure could be in the timer WPW3976576 contacts or cam.
