Kenmore 80s gas dryer not heating

Dryer Repair
1

Gas dryer seems to do everything right but is not heating the cloths. The ignighter comes on at first but no flame ever lights up. I took the front panel off and check the ressistance of the coils and they seemed on target (2-terminal one was ~1200 and 3-terminal one was ~1300 and 560). After putting it together and testing it actually did work once (flame lit up). However its not doing it anymore. :frowning:

Should I go first with replacing those coils?

Replace the coils. Every once in awile the whole gas valve has to be replaced, but I would replace the coils first. Very easy, and cheap repair. Tom
