I was dealing with this exact issue for the past few days! I have a model # MDG5500AWQ. Starting to hang dry clothes and all. I read through these blogs and found that it was a GAS VALVE SOLENOID COIL that I needed to be REPLACED. I was told by a Magtag dealer that when the gas flame cut out like this the issue was 99% of the time the gas valve solenoid coil kit. I was even trying to call around to try and get a tech out today but none were available and they wanted $65.00 just to come out and look at it. So I went to the Magtag website and found a dealer in my area and asked them for the part. If you open the front part of the dryer and push the button to make the dryer turn on without the door closing it in a few seconds the flame starts on and about 1 minute later the flame totally cuts out. My husband just got through changing out these coils which were smaller than the picture, only $35.00 with tax front the dealer, and located in the very front of the dryer,. towards the bottom, when you open the dryer front. He replaced them and I'm drying a load of laundry right now, thank God!

Dryer wont heat for more than 10 minutes when cold

did you clean the vent line?THAT COULD MAKE IT RUN HOT THE AIR CAN'T BLOW OUTSIDE,BUT WITH THE DRYER HAVING HEAT WHEN IT STARTS AND THEN AFTER LIKE 10 MINUTES NO HEAT IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE BAD GAS COILS,WHEN THE COILS ARE STARTING TO FAIL THEY WILL WORK FOR LIKE THE FIRST 10 TO 20 MINUTES AND WHEN THEY HEAT UP NO GAS,WHEN THE COOL THEY WILL WORK AGAIN,I WOULD CHANGE THE COILS AND CLEAN OUT THE DRYER AND VENT LINE,THIS SHOULD BE DONE ONCE A YEAR SO YOU DON'T HAVE A FIRE AND YOUR CLOTHES WILL DRY ON TIME,EVERYONE THINKS SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE DRYER AND ALL THAT HAPPENS IS THE VENT LINE AND THE DUCT WHERE THE LINT FILTER SLIDES INTO FILLS WITH LINT AND THE AIR CAN'T BLOW AROUND GOOD ANYMORE,ALSO WITH A SHOP VAC VAC UP THE LINT WHERE THE BURNER AND MOTOR IS AND THEN SET THE VAC UP TO BLOW AND BLOW THE MOTOR AND GAS BURNER OUT,DO THIS AND YOU'LL HARDLY HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE DRYER
