:confused: when we would turn on dryer, ignitor would start to glow then gas would flame for about 3or4 mins. then flame out and no glow. turn off dryer let rest then hit the start button...no glow. was told most likely coils. ok. got coil about a week later. Today ,first repeated as last weeks steps . again glow, flame, outflame, no glow. then changed coils.. now no glow. took of ignitor no crackes ohm meter reads ''0'' then took off flame sensor . tested to ohm, yes, has continuity between the two contacts .....o.k. now what......helpppp!! p s. even put back old coils , still no glow ect.

Well it starts, fires and runs until it calls for the heat then dies.. still sounds like the flame sensor.. or a high-limit thermostat if it has one.. I don't know your particular model..

Possible the flame sensor is bad. Sometimes it can be even if it passed continuity test.
