Just got a call from Dad, he was wondering if one of you guys could diagnose this problem.
Dryer pilot is lit, full flame comes on for about a minute, shuts off and in a few minutes comes on again for 7-8 seconds. He does nothing other than turn it on initially, has already replaced heating element.

Vent clogged with lint?
Just called him, he's checking it now. We'll see, thanks.
That was it. He replaced the vent 2 months back, there was a grill in the end that was wired shut. Whole thing was clogged, lucky there was no fire.Edit to say thanks a million!!!

Yeah, it's kind of an "Is it plugged in?" kind of thing.
A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful, and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It's a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity. --Jimmy Carter
Thanks for the laugh.
