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.
