The problem is the dryer coils have failed. They tend to fail as they heat up. They are inexpensive and easy to replace. Here is a link that should help troubleshooting a gas dryer

It sounds like the flame sensor is bad. If thats not the case you may need to replace the control board. You should make sure the flame sensor is directly into the flame.

My LGR4634E dryer isn't heating up

Can be a couple of things. Remove the back of the machine and check the small white colored thermal fuse.Two wires to it. Usually a 1" long cylindrical thing. Could be triangle as well. But jump out and test again. If not then the front comes off and the gas coils may be bad. Also there is an ignighter which should glow for 10 seconds then you here a click and the gas opens and it should ignite to a flame. Some times it will ignite and run for 5 to 10 minutes and get some heat and then goes out and does not come back on. This would be the gas coils to replace.

Intermittant heating.It will begin to glow....sometimes the flames shoot out for a short time....but then go out. Then, it will continue to glow red without flames igniting,then goes dim....couple minutes...

This is usually caused by faulty coils on the heat valve. they can be purchased seperate from the gas valve and are relatively easy to install..

Whirlpool gas dryer Model #WGD5530SQ0 not heating properly

If your dryer heats when you first turn it on and after a few minutes it does'nt. check the ignitor to see if it is glowing. It should glow bright then you will hear a click and the burner will light. If the ignitor glows bright but you hear a click but no flame and if you watch this for several minutes and this process continues of glow then glow goes out no flame, then you have a bad burner coil. There are 2 black solenoids sitting on top of gas valve. One of them is shorting out after it warms up. Replace both solenoids. You can usually get them as a kit from parts store.
