I watched the video about troubleshooting gas dryers and one of the symptoms you described was the burner coming on for a short time then going out, with long periods of time between cycles. You said more than likely this was a sign that the coil valves on the gas burner were not working properly and needed to be replaced. My model dryer required that I replace the whole valve, so I replaced the gas burner valve. This solved my problem, and it was very simple to follow along with the repair video on this site. Thank you Appliance Parts Pros for all of your help. Your videos are great!!
