NO, NO, NO......................... Not if he's really seeing the flame ignite and burn for 15-20 seconds.
Nadidlab, That 15-20 seconds that you say the flame is burning, are you sure the actual flame is burning or is it just the ignitor that you see glowing orange for 15-20 seconds.
If it's really just the ignitor glowing and trying to cycle again, then YES, as RegUS says, "it's the gas valve coils".
If you are actually seeing a flame and it stays burning longer then the 15-20 seconds when you have the hi-limit safety t-stats away from the burner tube, then most likely a venting problem. Remove the vent from the back of the dryer and test and see how the flame cycles and check the exhaust temp.
You're not trying to test it with the front off are you???
The front and door have to be on for the airflow to be correct and you observe the burner thru the little peephole in front, (pull the square plastic plug out).
