If the air flow is good, here is what I want you to check. When the dryer comes on for the first round of gas, when it cycles off, will it light the second time? If so, you most likely have a clogged vent, if not, replace the coils on the gas valve. Tom

The burner stays on for about five minutes but will not re-light for quite some time. Originally Posted by: kayakcrzy It could be a a clogged vent. Check the air flow to the outside.

Most likely the problem is a bad coil on the gas valve. - The part number for the coil kit is AP3094251 Here are the break down diagrams for the Maytag dryer Model LDG4914AAE Gene.
