I took off the front panel to look inside I had replaced the drum belt about a month ago and cleaned every thing inside and the vents I see that the igniter glows and the flame goes on but it only stays on for a few seconds and then turns off the dryers never gets hot enough to dry it takes about 4 cycles to dry I have read so many trouble shooting things that I am sort of confused I guess I need to buy a meter so that I can read the ohms......HELP:confused:

If your gas dryer has a good flame sensor and a good igniter AND the dryer will work some and quit, replace these: Gas operator coils part# 279834 [IMG]http://sites.google.com/site/sublimeappliancerepair/_/rsrc/1226720207396/washer-will-not-spin/agitator-woes/dryer-will-not-work/how-do-i-get-inside-my-dryer/gas-dryer-quits-heating/more-gas-dryer-enlightenment/gas%20dryer%20sublime%20diagram[/IMG] Replacing them is easy. All you need is a phillips head screwdriver. Make sure the quick connects are tight. And do not touch the ignitor when doing this operation:
