I've read most of the previous postings and replaced the coils, cycling thermostat, high limit thermostat, thermal sensor, and igniter. The igniter heats up the gas vale opens and I have a flame for about 10 seconds, as soon as the igniter stops heating the flame goes out. The dryer will continue to run, but it takes a long time for the flame to reignite, if at all. What should I be looking at? :confused: Bill

I still have the problem with the gas valve opening only for a few seconds. When the igniter shuts off so does the gas valve. I'm at a loss here guys!
