Maytag gas dryer not heating

Hello,

My Maytag Neptune gas dryer mod# mdg5500aww is not heating.

The ignitor gets hot, the gas ignites but the flame seems lazy and then shuts down. The lazy flame is in direct contact with a sensor (kind of like a roll-out switch). When I jump-out the switch, the flame stays but again, very lazy.

I replaced the sensor and the problem continued...I then replaced the gas solenoids with known good used solenoids and I have the exact problem.

The vent is clear, only a few feet long and I get great airflow to the exterior vent.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you Steve
