When I start the dryer the igniter glows and then a few seconds later the blue flames appear and the dryer heats up. After 2-3 miutes the blue flame goes out and the dryer cools down. Please let me know how to trouble shoot or what I need to replace. I have already replaced the igniter. Thanks, Dave

Part number: AP3094251 They are probably the most common failure on a gas dryer.
