Maytag gas dryer heat shuts down

My Maytag gas dryer, model DG412 starts normally when cold. After about 20 minutes, the burner shuts down while the drum continues to turn. The burner will not re-light until the dryer has cooled down for a few minutes. The longer it cools before re-lighting, the longer it runs before shutting off again. In other words, if you can get it to re-light after two or three minutes, it will shut off again after only 5 minutes or less. While if you wait until it has cooled for 20 minutes or so, it will burn again for 20 minutes or so before shutting off again. I have checked all your posts. Air flow seems normal.

Any help will be appreciated.

I am having the same issue. I have replace the Thermal Switch on the exhaust side, but it still does not work. It appears to be the Temperature Selector Switch, but when I tried to order one they told me that was a special order 10-12 days and that I should try something else.

Sorry, I should have clarified my response. My problem is very similar, but I have a Model DG9316.
