I took off Dryer back and cleaned all vent tubes, lint exhaust, lint vent and the inlet from Dryer. Lint exhaust opening had some hair/lint/ around inside of opening, put it back together, seemed to work as it will now ignite.
Dryer does now heat up to a point then shuts off and will not relight/ignite unless I let it rest or un plug it/re plug it in then it will light but not maintain heat/gas. If I open the door it it will not re ignite.
Is this the high level thermostat? Which one do I need to replace not sure. Thank you
