I have a Whirlpool dryer, model GGQ8811PW0, that is about 5 years old. Dryer starts, drum rotates, however, there is no heat. Is this likely the ignitor or a heat sensor? If it is the ignitor or a heat sensor, would it be located behind the front dryer panel? Is their a device I can use (meter) to check the faulty component. Thank you for any advice you can offer.

Behind front panel is how you get to the parts. You can use a meter but usually at least the ignitor cracks can be seen.
