    Dryer won't keep flame on.
    When the dryer turns on the igniter heats up and the flame lights but after a few seconds the flame goes out. I replaced the flame sensor but the same thing still happens. There is some sort of sensor on the heating tube but on Appliance Parts Pros.com Discount Appliance Parts – Appliance Repair Parts it doesn't show that part on the schematic. Any idea on what part I need and where I can get it?

    I'm not positive, but I know most gas devices have a device called a thermocouple, it is a safety device to make sure your flame is hot enough before letting the gas valve to open, you can try cleaning it with a piece of emery cloth or steel wool, it works sometimes.you can probably get this at a good appliance shop or maybe hardware store. Good Luck.
