Whirlpool propane dryer model GGW9250PW3 which is 15 years old is taking hours longer to dry a normal load. This has been an issue in the past and even now for a while. Historically, I've replaced both coils. Once no heat and one of them was shot. Another time because taking hours to dry a normal load. I've also replaced the front drum felt seal & the rear felt seal at different times a couple times which would let heat escape & take a long time to dry. Seals are good currently. Thermal fuse is good or there would be no heat (tested fine as well). Thermistor is good. Moisture sensor is good. Lint filter is good & new. The exhaust duct is clear all the way out of the house. There's not excessive lint built up anywhere. The laundry room doesn't get hot as it did when the felt seal failed so heat doesn't appear to be escaping anywhere.
About the only relevant part that I can see which I've not replaced is the gas valve p/n 279923 (obsolete p/n 8281914). It's about $200 though. Is that my issue? Can it be tested to know? Or, is it just time to replace the dryer?
Thoughts?
