They Maytag dryer does not get hot anymore when drying the clothes. The dryer appears to work only with cool air. The clothes do not dry properly.
I had a similar problem years back. It was the ignitor. The ignitor is a ceramic like piece that heats up (glows red) that ignites the gas. Typically when that goes, you will see some white residue build up where it cracked, thus breaking the electrical connection. This thing works like a heating element on an electric stove, but rougher looking.
The part was about $30 at my local parts store. I bought an extra one just in case so I have it on hand. I installed it with common tools.
You can check it to see if you lost connection by using a volt meter.
Good luck.

It appears that the gas coils need to be replaced.
I have the same problem. The ignitor does not glow. There is no heating activity noted. I did take the front cover off to observe. Do you think it is the ignitor?
does your ignitor glow when you start the dryer
