I tested for continuity on the flame sensor. Ive replaced both of the coils on the gas valve and the ignitor from advice Ive received through different channels, still no dice.
The dryer gets turned on, the ignitor glows, the gas comes out and lights, the ignitor turns off and the gas flame trickles down to nothing and goes out. 45-60 seconds later the ignitor comes back on, the gas doesnt come out, nothing lights up and the ignitor fades back to black again.
When we took the dryer apart to begin with we found a partial blockage of the air flow.
Any advice I could get would be great.

Part of my frustration is that the schematics for viewing the repair parts on the dryer (especially the fuses) show the parts floating out in the middle of the page, not attached to anything ( Gas carrying replacement parts for MAYTAG PYG2300AWW DRYER- GAS | AppliancePartsPros.com ) which gives me no specific location on what exactly to use my trusty analogue multimeter on. Me and the missus have opened up the top and peered down into the back of the unit (seems to be two down there, now not convinced that they were properly tested after these problems are persisting) , i tested the one on the blower cover and tested the one on the tube that envelops the ignitor.
one pleading bump for any help at all, thank you
