    Diagnostic Guide Link
    I found service tech diagnostic guides (PDF format) during an online search. This includes instructions on putting the dryer into test mode in order to check switches, etc. Here are the links:

    First, I got this thing free on craigslist, it is a kenmore elite king size gas dryer. It would kind of get warm for a few seconds then not. It took me 2 months of looking but I found the answer on epinions.com. It took me 10 minutes to fix. As it turns out, the dryer was over heating and automatically shutting off the heat. All I had to do was make sure my vent was clear. And the front kick plate [panel] under the door I snapped off [it snaps on] and removed 4 screws to the air chamber right in front and vacuum out the air chamber. It was clogged. I reassembled and it has been working great ever since. Now I got an $1100.00 gas dryer free.
    If you go to epinions.com be aware, they are not g rated.
