bad gas coils located on top of the gas valve.when the coils are on there way out they will do this,when they heat up they fail,when the dryer and the coils cool down they will fire.they let the gas in and the ignitor ignites the flame after 15 to 30 minutes they fail.let me know how you make out
there is a saftey relay that might be bad and needs replacing.. this is there for keeping dryer from starting a fire or over heateng.. when the dryer start heating the saftey switch is on and once it stops heating the switch is open and and will not dry.. it could be a heating element once it gets hot it expands and will not heat..
I have a Whirlpool dryer with LP gas, 7 1/2 years old. It will fire up once or twice after started then the next time it is supposed to fire it will make a buzzing sound. No heat. It will not produce heat after this until it sits for awhile then the same thing, will fire once or twice then no more. I replaced the ignitor and this did not solve the problem although it did have a consistent firing for about 3 minutes immediately after I replaced the part. then it started buzzing again and would not fire anymore. The propane line doesn't appear to be the problem either since it will work initially. Also the gas water heater in the house works fine.
I had a problem once with a gas dryer that would come on, the pilot would glow and the flame would run on a shortend cycle. The coil that opens the gas valve had a short circuit that would only short out when it heated up. It would drive me crazy since it appeared to be working. The short cycle time the first time, and then maybe not at all once it was warm gave me mixed signals.
Replace
the coil packs on the gas valve this fixes 90% of gas dryers lighting
intermittently. The bracket comes off and they are sold seperately from
any appliance parts retailer.
