Maytag Dryer - Starts flame, does not restart

[Local Guy]

I own a MDG2500BWW Maytag Dryer.  It spins, but is not heating up.  I pulled off the front, started the unit, the burner starts and runs for 45 seconds. Then the burner stops , 45 seconds later I hear a click and the lighter glows.  But the burner does not start.

Using a continuity tester on the dryer radiant flame sensor and other part above the burner, both passed. I also tested the thermal fuse, which passed. 

I am not an expert. Should I replace the coils and the sensor that has 4 wires going to it?

Thanks

Sounds like your coils are weak. Make sure that airflow through your vent is good and that there’s nothing obstructing it.

I would need to go back and check my notes, but my Maytag gas dryer, different model, had that same problem, and my recollection those coils were the issue. Once replaced, the dryer worked well for many years after.
