Well it looks like I'm having troubles drying a load of laundry this month and I think the gas coils has gone bad.
It starts up fine then somewhere during mid cycle, no heat and continues to tumble via air dried until the machine shuts off.
The thermal fuse was replaced 2 days ago so that's not it. Should I replace the complete assembly as posted or just the coils valves itself?

Replace the coils only. Not only are they cheaper, but the number of times I've actually had to replace the valve in 20 years can be counted on two fingers. The coils come as a set and they are pretty cheap!

RCD is right the coils are bad

There's a trick I read about to test for bad coils

A hair dryer on the coils will tell if heat is affecting the coils

If they stop working after the hair dryer treatment they have broken coils inside the coil pkg
 
If the coil won't glow, chances are it's broken. Cheap fix. If the valve is bad, they usually "chatter" trying to open. You can't miss that sound.
