The dryer will work properly for a short time and then the heat will shut off before the cloths are dry.

I have replaced the "Heat Control Switch" and the "Heat Sensor". I cleaned the inside of the dryer (all areas) and replaced the dryer exhaust line. I also checked for good continuity in all other vital parts (Coil, etc). I even removed the "Dryer Basket" and cleaned behind it!

1 - Will a bad "Moister Senor" cause the heat to shut off before clothes are dry?

2 - Can a bad "Coil" cause intermittent problems?

Most likely the problem is a bad gas valve coils. This is very common when the coils losing their resistance after they heated up. Any kind of problems with moister sensor are very rare.

- The part number for the kit of coils is AP2150379
