My dryer gets hot at first, but then eventually stops blowing hot air after a few minutes. As a result, it’s not drying. The ducts are clear and I have good air flow.
I removed the bottom front panel. The heating element begins to glow, the flame starts and gets hot, but then after a few minutes the flame goes out and does not come back on. The glow bar continues to glow every few minutes, but never lights again.
It seems to me like maybe it is a thermostat or coil problem. When the dryer is cool, it lights fine. But after warming up, it stops lighting the flame.
Can someone help or suggest a part? Many thanks.
I was looking at these coils:
