No heat when drying, no flame.
This was a troubling exercise. Took apart the dryer covers and removed the drum. Removed the igniter and it had a crack through it. Checked with multimeter for continuity, and there was none. Took a picture of the original installation and sent away for part. Just mount and plug in….reassembled and works fine.

Dryer would not heat.
The hardest part was figuring out how to access the dryer mechanism. This Amana dryer has a lower front panel that is removed and not the top. There are few instructions available for this configuration. Then the part locations do not resemble the video instructions for trouble shooting. I discovered the broken part because when fiddling with the wire connections the metal tab disconnected due to fatigue or corrosion. Removing, identifying and replacing the flame sensor was quite simple. The dryer now works as before. The dryer is 23 years old. The most time in this repair was spent figuring out how to disassemble and identify a different configuration than in the videos.

Dryer would not spin
The design of my dryer is a bit different from the video on PartSelect - but it is very close. And if you watch the really good video on PartSelect plus a few others on Youtube you can figure out how Samsung in general designs the different components. You can fix this yourself definitely.
Cost of part to fix - about $50.
Repairman - didn't even ask. Would probably be $300-400.
Cost of replacement $1,000.
I rated the repair "A bit difficult" only because this is the first time I have ever repaired an appliance. If I were to repair this one again, I'd rate it as Easy.
I'm really thankful for the PartSelect video. This makes DIY repairs possible.
Thanks.

I started by changing the part that had the highest percentage to solve this problem , the top three didn't work , the fourth part, the disposable thermostat, and the last one that could be done from the front worked.

Motor replacement
I'll make this quick. To access the motor you need to take half of the drier apart. I cut a access door on the side where the motor is with a small electric saw. It gave me clear access to the motor. You still need to take the front cover off to remove the blower wheel . One more thing, make sure to have the belt back on when testing, otherwise the motor wont start. It took me about an hour and 15 minutes

Original belt broke after nylon tension pulley bearing froze.
Thank you
partselect.com for a much better heavy duty belt than the original. Way over priced, but well worth it. After watching the video & following it step-by-step, I now have a perfectly running dryer. P.S. don't forget to plug back in the (3) wire harnesses. The entire experience was a great feeling of accomplishment. Thanks again partselect.com

Dryer would not light
I thought it had to be the igniter so I replaced that part. The dryer still did not start. I replaced the high limit and hoorah dryer works. Two weeks go by, the dryer is drying the clothes but my wife smells gas in the laundry room. I replaced the coil pak on the gas valve. My wife says she still smells gas. I replaced the radiant flame sensor and no gas smell for 2 weeks now.

Flame did not cycle on and off as it should. It only came on once so clothes did not dry.
After the Radiant Flame Sensor was installed, the problem remained. An appliance repair person then replaced both coils, and that fixed the problem.
