Getting back off

No access port. Must take off top, them control panel, then front. Most likely it's the igniter.

If you have a gas dryer....what coils are you talking about?

Hello & Welcome to FixYa

You can test the thermostat with the voltmeter...if it tests open then replacing it is recommended repair. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

Hi,

If you are having problems with your gas dryer not heating the most common problem is that the ignitor goes bad. Even though it glows sometimes it is still not working properly.

if you dryer is gas check out this gas no heat tip....

If you have an electric dryer, you can have many different things that can go wrong causing the dryer not to heat.

check out this electric no heat tip...

You cannot get the back off. You work from the front.
Remove the top first by getting the rear screws off then remove the controls and top front brace then remove the drum glide then the take the belt loose and lift out the drum. You will now be able to examine the motor.

I found your manual and learned yours is a GAS dryer... the FIRST check is to be SURE the gas valve to your dryer is OPEN.

There is a Troubleshooting section, but NOTHING about no heat?

Know that LOW gas pressure CAN be a issue too!

I did find this:

"If the dryer no longer heats then the heating element may have failed, but it is not the most common cause. The most common cause for a dryer to stop heating is a blown thermal fuse."

The SECOND Link will be VERY helpful...

More help?
Cause 1 Thermal Fuse
Cause 2 Gas Valve Solenoid
Cause 3 Igniter

Check your exhaust duct - the long tube that goes from the back of your dryer to the vent outside. It may be clogged with lint.

If your vent is clear (strong flow of air at vent outlet outside) then you have a bad gas valve. I have seen this a few times on LG gas dryers. You really only need one of the coils on the gas valve, but they are not available individually. You have to get the entire valve.
