Burner will light for about 1 minute then shut off. Igniter comes back on after 30 seconds, but gas will not relight. Trying to decide if I should replace coils, sensor, or both. Any thoughts?

Model MDG5500AWW

have you checked/cleaned the vent?

is there good air-flow from the vent on the outside of the house ?

try running it with the vent disconnected.

edit: sorry I didn't notice the short timing sequence...

Replace the split coils on the valve. That should do it.

That's what I think too.
