Okay here's my problem(s)
First the timer stopped moving in the Auto Dry Cycle, it would just run forever. So I started using the timed Cycle instead.
Then it stopped drying. The heater would only turn on now and then and then only for a short while. I replaced the Thermal cut off kit, which includes both thermostats. This didn't help but I did notice that the igniter would turn on and off but the burner didn't light. So I replaced the Flame Sensor and both Solenoid Coils.
IT WORKED...for one load!
Now the igniter doesn't even turn on. So now what do I do?
By the way I have checked and cleaned out the vent.

There is a thermal fuse in the back of the dryer. Take the back off, and you will see the thermal fuse. It is white in color, and is a 1/2 wide, and an inch and a half long. That would stop the ignitor from coming on. Tom ApplianceEducator.com

Yes Bob, take the 2 wires off of the thermal fuse, and of course the dryer is unplug when we do this, and then check the thermal fuse on ohms to see if you get a reading. If no reading it is bad. Tom ApplianceEducator.com
