I have a gas Maytag Dryer - LDG9304AAM. The igniter glows and the gas ignites on startup but shuts off after a minute or so. I have checked for continuity on the igniter, fuse link, flame sensor, high limit thermostat, and cycling thermostat. I suspect the gas valve solenoids are okay because it lights on initial startup. I also checked for continuity on the igniter. I have continuity on all the items mentioned above. I checked for good airflow and replaced the blower, which was worn on the shaft. The exhaust air seems good to the outside vent, but I removed the duct work from the back of the dryer and ran it with the front door in place to ensure good airflow. Still, no continuous heat, just on startup for a few minutes. What could be the issue and what else can I check?
