Chuck, if your term "thermst-fix" means the hi limit thermostat W11050897 , it could be the issue. if you had an exhaust vent issue, it could be "weak" and cycling early. But, then it should reset and the ignition sequence should continue. But that doesn't sound like the issue. You may need to start checking for a loose wire connection, or loss of power or neutral to the gas valve, or timer. We're going to need a bit more information than what you've supplied so far in order to assist you properly. Thanks

Jammann, The issue would be internal to the gas valve WP8573072 a diaphragm or an internal plunger has failed and is allowing the gas to escape through the burner orifice. The supply of the gas valve is limited, so you will need to contact the APP Customer Sevice Team (1-877-477-7278) to verify availability and cost.

Hello Tom! All you need is the orifice WP234826, limiter [AP3135346, regulator WP694423 and spring WP694422. As long as you ordered those parts, no other parts should be needed. The leak limiter and orifice will screw down. The spring and regulator you'll put in place. Flip the pin on the dryer regulator back to NG. Hope this helps you, thanks.

Rich, You will want to check the venting from the blower wheel all the way to the outside of the home to ensure that the vent is not restricted. Also check to make sure that the heater is not staying on which could be an indication that the cycling thermostat is faulty.
