Model: FDGB55RGS1

The beers aren't helping me get this done any faster, and I was focusing every bit of my Chi

I am not getting heat when I turn the dryer on. I removed the vent and could see into the machine. I could see what looked like a flame about 10 seconds after turning the machine on and then it slowly vanished into thin air. From poking around I would assume that this might be a coil problem, as there seems to be no gas to keep the initial flame going. Problem is I have NO CLUE how to take this rig apart. It looks like the back plate is welded on.

Please help oh gurus.

there are 2 clips that hold the lid down... insert a putty knife into the gaps and push the clip in then the top lifts

once the top is lifted there is a screw on each side, on the inside lip of the dryer, remove those them the front comes off

the drum lifts up at the back then the drum comes out from the front

everything is front serviceable

Got it figured out. Finally got it apart and blew everything clean with my air compressor, there was a slight buildup of lint and dog hair. Once clean it started producing heat again

Thanks for the help.
