My dryer is taking 2-3 cycles to dry completely. There was a lot of buildup in the vent, but cleaning didn't fix it. There is heat initially, but it doesn't heat up after that. I've watched the flame and it seems to burn as expected.
I've checked the Thermal Fuse (#39 on diagram), the Internal Bias Thermostat (#41), the Thermal Cut-Off (#12), and the Thermostat 205*F (#34) and all show continuity.
The gas valve coils show 1278 Ohms for the one with two terminals. For the three terminal coil, I show 1383 Ohms across the left/middle and 562 across the left/right.
The ignitor shows 62 ohms and the flame/radiant sensor shows continuity.
The timer is acting weird. In Auto Dry, the timer never advances. In Timer mode, it advances even before the start button is pushed as long as the door is closed. I've heard that the timer is rarely the problem. Is there any way to test it before replacing it?
Anything else I should check? Thanks.

Even though testing said all the parts were good, I changed the gas coils, thermal fuse, hi-limit thermostat, internal bias thermostat, and thermal cut-off. Still no heat so I changed the timer. Still no heat. I re-checked the gas coils and the two pronged one was bad. Replaced it and the dryer is working like new now. I may put the old timer back on just to see if that was bad or if it was just the coils all along.
