The air should be coming out pretty good. If so, I would replace the coils on the gas valve. That is usually the likely culprit. You could ohm them out, but they still could be bad.

I tried the cheaper fix first cleaned the vent from the dryer to the outside vent and walla we’re back to a complete drying cycle, two thumbs up. Need to replace the lint trap has a nice big rip in it. Now that you solved this problem I just finished gutting the kitchen think you can help me with the plumbing nightmare I just ran in to, just kidding. Great forum thanks much.
