The igniter lights up, the flame starts and then turns off. the igniter lights up again, and the gas does not come out. this is repeatable. I have tested for continuity, the flame sensor, igniter, the high limit thermostat and I think the cycling themostat, it had four contacts. I will check the fuse. I have also checked the coils for resistence, there are two and they are within the limits recommended. Does anyone have any ideas. I hate to by another dryer at this point in time. I appreciate any help provided.
Most likely the problem is a bad gas valve coils even if they passed the continuity test. These coils very often are affected by the heat around.

P.S. An intermittent problems with thermostats and/or fuses are impossible.
