Dryer flame turns off after a couple of minutes leaves clothes damp

Must be the control thermostat. Note: them coils only stay on a brief period of time. They do not stay on indefinitely. The duration depends on how many wet clothes are in the dryer etc. The least amount of resistance to heat the quicker they shut down. The way it works is temp is maintained between 140f and 105f by doing a series of burns for breif amount of time. The coils do not remain on for very long. If they did the clothes would burn up. You need to remove inspect and clean the filter chute. Probably clogged. The dryer must be put back together for testing with damp clothes in the drum and the door closed.

If the flame is shutting of before it reaches the operating temperatures the likely failure is a restricted venting system. There is a high limit thermostat that will cause the flame to shut off if there is a lack of airflow due to a restriction in the vent system. Remove the lint filter screen and clean in with soap and water. The filter may appear clean but it could have a clear film of fabric softener residue covering it causing a restriction in the air flow too. After cleaning the filter reinstall it before running the next test.

For testing purposes only, disconnect the dryer vent hose from the back of the dryer and put a normal load of clothes in the dryer and start the dryer. If the clothes dry in the normal amount of time that would confirm a restriction in the vent hose or the venting system. NOTE: Do not leave the vent hose disconnected after running the test. Reconnect the vent hose.

You will likely find the clothes drying in the normal amount of time indicating a restriction in the venting.

It is your igniter.

it may not be getting enough air flow,clean any area's of fluff preventing air intake.

This problem may be the result of a dirty lent filter which if clogged will short cycle the dryer and the clothes will still be damp when done. Also a dirty exhaust pipe (usally 4") will prevent the clothes from drying correctly. Make sure that the air is leaving the machine. To do this you have to go outside when the machine is running.

when did you last clean out the dryer?another thing is that the gas coils could be failing,they work for a while but when the heat up they cut out leaving clothes damp or partially dry.there should be a little peep hole on front of dryer to see flame inside,pop off the cover after 10 or 15 minutes and make sure the flame is still coming on,if there isn't a cover you'll have to remove the bottom panel to check this,if the coils are good clean out the dryer by vacuuming the inside of it,remove the duct that the lint filter slides into and clean that out,then go outside and make sure the air is blowing out strong enough to open the flapper all the way,if it isn't the block is inside the vent line,remove the line from the back of dryer and clean it,if it's along run from the wall to the outside blow it out with a leaf blower and that should take care of your problem,you should do this a t least once a year so you don't have a fire on your hands,so clean out the dryer and make sure you don't have bad gas coils

Could be the timer switch is not giving you the right drying cycle.
Try to change dryer cycles from the one setting that you would normally use to a different cycle and see what happens.
Or if you have a timed type timer switch, put it to 60 minutes and see if that helps. If it does then you may need to replace the timer switch.
Good luck,
I hope this helps

inside dryer there is 2 metal strips clean tham off with a eraser if that dont cure it make sure vent clean going out of your home if both are done and still does it depends on dryer if its a sencer are control board

I had the same problem with mine. My wrinkle free setting some how got turned off. As soon as I turned that back on machine kept running and dried the clothes fine.

check you vent hose all the way to outside. make sure not blocked or kinked.
