probably two different problems. The first sounds like a timer problem
where it has a 'dead' spot where it stops turning, leaving the dryer
running. The second sounds like an igniter problem.
Do some checking on the model number online to see if you can figure the
age. If it's over about 10 years old you're probably better off replacing.
The cost of the repair(s) coupled with the gas savings of a new more
efficient model will pay for it in short order.
