I seem to be missing something because the coils, igniter, thermostat, and fuse are all fine. What else is there that might have failed? Need this working.

I agree. If you are not getting good air flow it will cause your heat to short cycle. You will see the flame and then it will go off after a few seconds. If your venting is clear and your blowing good air out of the back of the dryer, I would replace the gas coils. When coils fail they will still work when they are cold at the beginning of a cycle. As they warm up they fail and cause no heat until they cool down again. Attached is a link to the coils and a video for the repair.

My first guess would be a restricted air flow if those are all in proper working order. Easiest way to check: remove the venting from behind unit and turn it on, you’ll be able to feel it heat up fairly quick if the dryer is working correctly. In that case, you may have a lint blockage from the unit to outside. Depending on how long your vent is and whether the build up is in the middle or something you can access from outside, it could be a fairly simple fix. If you can’t find it, a duct cleaning company may need to be called to clear it professionally. We recommend doing this once a year for safety as well.
