need help with gas dryer

[qaztwo]

My 6yr old kenmore gas dryer stopped getting hot. Went on line found some info about checking thermal fuse which I did(ok). Still will not get hot. When started burner will come on for about 15 sec. then nothing. Can unplug and plug back in a burner will come on for about 15sec. Does this sound like bad gas coils.
Any info would be great

First check the duct work for blockage. If it has been 6 years chances are it is plugged probably at the elbow exiting the house or the elbow on the floor going up to the vent. A partial plug can cause what you are experiencing.
