Sears Kenmore 90 series (natural) gas drier problem
 
I have a Sears Kenmore 90 series (natural) gas drier.

It has been in use for 10 years

For some reason, the heater has stopped working
So basically everything is cold when it's running

Is there a website to walk me through the process of figuring out what the
problem is and possibly fixing it ?

Thanks

In my experience...the burner is not lighting because the "glo-bar"
has cracked or broken. It is located close to the burner and is easy
to spot.

I also need a "How to get into your Sears Dryer for Dummies" manual, so that
I can figure out where the "glo-bar" is located
:-)

Looked at the www.repairclinic.com site, but there is not direction on how
to remove the front panel
I'm sure it's simple and obvious once you know how, but there is too much
possibility of doing it wrong and damaging something in the process of
opening it up

Any suggestions ?

Look for screws on the bottom edge. If there are a couple, remove them and
swing the bottom out. Can't say for sure, but many are put together like
that.

It's easy if you've done it before.g I think your dryer will be
this style-
http://www.repairclinic.com/0100_13.asp

At any rate- see the clips on the top of the front panel? [unplug
things first- there are open wires and bare contacts exposed]

You just pry the top with a screwdriver- prop it up out of your way.
Then you should be able to see a couple screws holding the front on.
[5 hands and a rubber neck are helpful]
