Gas dryer does not heat?

Dryer Repair

I have a GE gas dryer that produces heat for a few minutes and then stops heating. I tried replacing the sensor that is on the outside of the duct burner. You can see the igniter working, it glows brightly then you hear a click and it shuts off. I’m thinking that the gas valve is going out.
Open for suggestions?
Thank you, Kevin.

If the dryer runs and gets too hot the fuse will melt.But the dryer will still run. So if the fuse is good(continuity) and the dryer control(cycle) thermostat is also good then you should have power going to the gas valve assembly when the machine is running unless the timer is in the no heat or wrinkle free/cool down mode. When the gas valve assembly is energized the flame sensor [LEFT][279834 ](http://sites.google.com/site/sublimeappliancerepair/washer-will-not-spin/agitator-woes/dryer-will-not-work/how-do-i-get-inside-my-dryer/gas-dryer-quits-heating/a%20flame%20sensor%202.bmp?attredirects=0"][/URL][/LEFT]

If your gas dryer has a good flame sensor and a good igniter AND the dryer will work some and quit, replace these:

The coils get hot and quit on these machines when they get a little age on them. It is aggrevating because it is a hard to diagnose thing. But well worth the 20 bucks.
