Default Gas Dryer Poor Performance

My guess is the valve coils. You can confirm by measuring the voltage
coming in to the coil assembly, which includes the ignitor and flame
sensor. If voltage is present after the gas cuts out prematurely, the
trouble is in the valve assembly.

If the trouble isn't with the thermostat(s), your parts supplier may
take them back if the packages are unopened.
