I have read several posts about this and I wanted to ask one really stupid question:
How do you "open" the dryer to see if the Igniter or something like that is not working?
Best regards,

Hello ICRegal. Welcome to the Gas Appliances topic and the Do-It-Yourself Web Site.
Dryer internal cabinet access varies. Look for screws around the inside door frame. Some brands and models will have them. Others will have two screws at the bottom of the front panel. Some models use either or both methods.
Other brands use two clips between the top lid and front panel. The clips are not externally visible. Located in wards about two inches from the corners. You'll need to use an old credit card or similar device of the same or similar width.
Slid the card between the top lid and front panel.Then push the clip back slightly to release it. Repeat this process on the other side. Then lift the top lid and look for screws down the side of the front panel.

Be sure the electrical power to the appliance is turned off, before attempting any repairs or services. Always check for gas leaks whenever moving the appliance and/or a service or repair includes any connection of a gas part.
