Default Kenmore dryer. Flame goes out after a few minutes and will not reignite.

I have a Kenmore 76912692 dryer. After complaints about wet clothes after
drying, I did a quick check of the flame, it was working, then I cleaned out
all the accumulated lint. I reassembled the unit and powered it on. The
flame came on as it did before. But I sat there and watched it and after
about 5 minutes, the flame shut off. Ok, the thermostat did its job. A few
minutes later, the igniter glows orange, but the flame doesn't light. This
happens repeatedly. The flame will only light when you initially start the
dryer and once it goes off, it will not reignite. I checked the solenoid
windings and they are good. Any ideas?

Thanks for your reply.
