Gas Dryer won't cycle burner after start up - CraigT - 2009-04-19 11:40:00

I've got a Whirlpool gas dryer (Model #LGR764AQO) that heats up just fine 
when you first turn it on.  A few minutes after the burner has cycled off I 
can see it trying to re-ignite because the igniter glows, but no gas cycles 
on this time.   What is the most likely cause?

My guess is the valve coil(s).  It may work OK when cold, bot it becomes 
less reliable as it heats up.  You can get a new coil set for a little 
over $20 from www.repairclinic.com.
