Every few minutes the electronic ingition will start to glow stay on for a few seconds no Flame then it goes out. Any thoughts?

Check the coils!

Updated information. Model #DG27A5WXFE S/N X21510246. This morning I tried the dryer again. As before when I pushed the start button the glow came on but this time after a few seconds the flame did come on. The flame stayed on for several minutes then it went out and very shortly after going out the glow came back and the flame came back on. This went on for the full 30 minutes I had set the timer for. Does this change your thoughts any? Thanks Jeff for your time.

Does this change your thoughts any?

Not yes, coils are often intermittant....

Quick Gas Dryer Tips:

Problem -
Gas flame comes on first few times then quits and igniter keeps cycling on and off but never lets the gas go.
Answer ( most common ) -
Replace the coils on the Gas Valve.

Problem -
No flame, no igniter glowing at all,
Answer ( most common ) -
Inspect igniter for small burnt spot on dark gray or black part of igniter or check for 110 volts to igniter when dryer should be calling for heat.

Does the igniter get red and stay red, or does it get red, you hear a click and it goes off, then a minute later its gets red again?....if so you possibly have a bad set of coil valves.
