We checked and the flame was not lighting although there was an orange glow. Today I get the orange glow and the dryer lit but I thhink I have a problem. What part(s) should I look to replace so that the dryer will work and stay lit?

NOTE:These coils must be replaced EXACTLY as positioned on the old gas valve. I suspect they are getting a little age on them. If the ignitor is working then the control is functioning therefore in my opinion the coils are probably getting hot and fading. I looked up the coils: Click HERE to view the kit. You will note that each coil has different colored wires, pay attention to that! Wire it up wrong and it will not work. Stack the coils wrong and it will not work.
