:confused: Found lint at 90, didn't go farther. Gas dryer, ignites for 10 to 15 seconds then shuts off.??

Most likely the problem is clogged vent not the dryer itself. Disconnect the vent hose from the dryer and run one or two loads with the hose disconnected. If the drying time is better then the vent needs cleaning.
Good luck.
Gene.

You can try the LintEater, rotary dryer vent cleaning kit which attaches to a drill and will clean a dryer vent. The part number for the LintEater is AP4240727
Good luck.
Gene.
