I read about the coils on the gas valve and wonder if that applies to this model dryer. thanks

The coils will become weak with age and you will notice the igniter glows, but the burner will only ignite one or two times. After that, each time the igniter glows, the valves never turn on. An easy repair, they only go on one way.
