    Whrlpool gas dryer won't ignite after 1st 15 min. Which therm. To replace?
    Dryer heats initially and for several cycles.(10-15 minutes) Then the burner will not light when the ignitor lights. Is there a specific thermostat that would be a likely culprit? All other motor and functions are normal. I did replace a "sensor" adjacent to the ignitor with no improvement.
