I have tested for continuity, the flame sensor, igniter, the high limit thermostat and I think the cycling themostat, it had four contacts. I will check the fuse. I have also checked the coils for resistence, there are two and they are within the limits recommended. Does anyone have any ideas. I hate to by another dryer at this point in time. I appreciate any help provided.

These coils very often are affected by the heat around. - The coil kit Part number: AP3094251 Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for MAYTAG LDG9304AAE DRYER- GAS \| AppliancePartsPros.com Gene.
