Roper RGX5634KQ2 Dryer will fire initially, and heat up. It will stay fired up for around 1-2 minutes, and go out. After another couple minutes, the igniter fires, but there is no flame. This continues...

I have a Roper Gas Dryer, Model #RGX5634KQ2 it runs off propane. The dryer turns on and tumbles. It lights, heat comes on for just a minute then goes out. Clothes want dry

The problem sounds like the dryer coils are failing.They tend to fail as they heat up. These are very inexpensive and easy to fix. It could be several other things thermal fuse, thermal cut out, hi limit thermostat, heat sensor,or ignitor. All of these parts are inexpensive and easy to test and replace.There is a video at www.appliancehelponline.com/servicemanual.html this will walk you thru the troubleshooting of these components. It may be a different model but the troubleshooting will be the same.You can also enter your model # for diagrams and illustrations. Not all models are available. If you need help disassembling your machine there are videos of this also for most styles.

My dryer turns on and heat fires up but only stays on for about ten min then shuts off Roper rgx5634kq2

the coils may be weak and not holding the valve open for the gas or you may have a weak ignitor. the ignitor should glow white hot not orange. hope this helps.
