    Dryer hard to start. When hot
    Maytag performa model pyg3200aww
    Motor seem to have hard start, once running it heats first time for about 30 seconds, gas turns of drum continues to run, in 1 minute it ignites again burns for about 12 to 15 seconds, gas and flame shut off drum runs as before 1 minute, to flame for 12 seconds. Once dryer shuts off it won't start for several minutes

    You should clean it well now or it will blow the safeties. Tear it down totally to get it clean and wash out all ductwork and parts to remove buildup in dryer.
