Maytag gas dryer

[Rapple]

My Maytag gas dryer model# MGD5770TQ0 will not heat. I want to check the thermostat and gas valve, but cannot figure out how to get to them. There are no screws at the bottom front to take off. Am I supposed to take off the back or the front? Thanks!

My Maytag gas dryer will not heat

Problem - Gas flame comes on first few times then quits and igniter keeps cycling on and off but never lets the gas go.

Answer ( most common ) - Replace the coils on the Gas Valve.

Problem - No flame, no igniter glowing at all.

Answer ( most common ) - Inspect igniter for small burnt spot on dark gray or black part of igniter or check for 110 volts to igniter when dryer should be calling for heat.
