Kenmore Series 70 Gas Dry - Intermittent Heat

[jnkslr]

My Kenmore Series 70 gas dryer (Model #11074722400) is experiencing heating problems.

From a cold start, the ignition coil glows, I get flame and heat for about 5 minutes, after that the flame stops, heat stops and the dry just keeps running.

Then if I stop and restart the dryer the ignition coil glows, but I never get any flame at all.

If I stop the dryer and wait about 10-15 min then start it again, the ignition coil glows, I get flame and heat for about 5 minutes, heat stops and the dry just keeps running.

From the research I have done so far I believe I need to replace the Gas Valve Coil and/or the Thermal Fuse.  I am not 100% sure about needing either or where I can buy them. Oh, I opened the dry and cleaned it out... nothing changed, same behavior.

I'd really appreciate any feedback about the symptoms, cause of the problem and where to buy parts online, etc.

Thanks!
