What exactly do you mean by that? Do you mean the timer goes past the OFF position but the dryer doesn't stop?

** the heat comes back on but doesn't quite dry the clothes... Lint trap is clear, exhaust hose is clean. **

The vent is clear *all the way from the dryer to the outdoors* or just from the dryer to the inside house wall???
Timer/knob doesn't advance. If I turn off the dryer and wait 5 minutes or so and turn it on again the heat will come on for about 10-15 minutes and then the air just blows cold again and will tumble until I come back to turn the dryer off.

The vent is clear from the lint trap through the machine and the exterior hose to the outside.

I am leaning towards thinking the gas valve coils are going if the dryer only heats for a short bit before blowing the room air again.
