    Kenmore gas dryer gets hot for a few minutes, then shuts off
    Greetings, I have a Kenmore 80 series gas dryer that is about 5 or 6 years old. When starting to drya load, the burner comes on and everything seems to work like normal. After about 5 or 6 minutes, the burner shuts itself off and there is suddenly no heat. I've checked the air flow in the vents, I'll admit they were pretty bad, but that still hasn't solved the problem... any thoughts anyone?

    Replace the gas solenoids and it will work fine. They slide on and off the plunger with no need to disconnect any gas lines. There is a small block of wires to each one and a bracket to hold them in place. Access from the front.
