Our gas dryer, Whirpool model LG7681XSN2, is not heating very well any more.
There wasn't much lint in the 4" galvanized exhaust pipe when examined. Is
there any web site that shows you how to take off the various covers/panels
to look at the insides to clean it out and/or perhaps change the sensor or
whatever? Do gas heating elements need to be changed?

Paul,

I had a similar issue with my old GE. Open up the access panel on the
front of the dryer and vacuum out all of the lint. Pay special
attention to the igniter and gas jet.

Thanks Scott. That's one of the things I'm unsure about, getting off the
front access panel. Seems very tight. Do I just haul on it till it gives?

Paul,

The door is hooked on to 2 pins that stick out about 3/4 of the way up
the opening and 2 more pins stick out about 1/4 of the way up from the
bottom preventing the door from swinging into the dryer. The door
usually fits pretty tight. Reach up under the bottom of the dryer body
and push out on the bottom of the door. It should pop open. You will
then be able to push up on the bottom of the door to unhook the top of
it from the pins.

Do gas heating elements need to be changed?

Hot surface ignitor, coils on the gas valve are common trouble

Thanks all for your help. Vacuuming out the lint around the works, gobs and
including quite a few dollars in coins, has done the trick for now.
