My maytag performa gas model pyg2300aww ignites fine, but only burns for about 15 seconds then shuts off. it re-ignites and does the same thing again and again with a couple of minutes between burn cycles but doesn't heat up the dryer. I've cleared lint out of the intake and exhaust and have good air flow.
Its either the hi-limit switch is weak on the burner tube,or the gas valve coils on the gas valve are weak and can no longer keep the gas valve open to supply gas,if they appear warm after operation they are most likely bad
Testimonial: "great call, coils were warm, $30 and 2 screws later the dryer is fine. thank you very much"

Hi,
Could be a number of things....
The ignitor is bad and it will not keep pulling enough current to hold the gas vavle on.
The dryer cycling thermostat is bad and is cycling it too often...ie, shutting the gas valve down too soon before it can run long enough and then turning it right back on.
The vent is blocked or plugged and the air gets too hot to fast.
The high limit switch has gone bad doing the same thing as if the cycling stat goes bad.
Fan/blower is bad and bot moving enough air...same symptoms as blocked vent...
Need to start eliminating the possiblities one by one...

Valid Most likely the problem with your dryer is the coils for the gas valve. Remove the access door (on the bottom right side on the front panel) and you can see the gas valve with three coils on top of it. They are coming as a kit with complete instruction. The part number for this kit is AP2669614.You can buy it here http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=SrmyP8LkIos&offerid=92089.542517043&type=10&subid=

Hello Friend, Your solution is simple. It sounds like your dryer is working properly, and your actual problem is a blockage somewhere in your 4 inch exhaust tubing. Check it and make sure it is not clogged up with excessive lint. Also if your tubing is clear you need to check your connection where it travels thru the wall etc. It would be a good idea to find the actual location where it exits to the ouside and check for good airflow. Your dryer is equiped with a safety thermistat and if you are not getting the proper exhaust flow the burner will cut off and restart in the manner that your's is doing. I Hope I have helped you, Tim. And please don't forget to give me your rating for my help.

Hi,
Your ignitor is going bad...yeah it sounds crazy, but change it and you will be working again...
If you have a gas dryer.
The most common problem with a gas and no heat is the ignitor going bad...

Usually answered in minutes!
after more testing i realized the heating system is only working with the front panel removed. with the front panel off the gas ignites and burns with good flow. the short burn cyccle i thought i was seeing with the front panel on and the top open was actually just the igniter coil glowing then going out. is this still gas valve coils or is it some sort of safety shut off?
