Do i replace the belt from the front removing the lint panel or from the back
For model number WGD7800XW0
Hi Lauren, thank you for contacting us. The first thing you will need to do is disconnect the power to the dryer. Your next step will be to remove the lint screen and set it aside, which will expose two screws that you need to remove with caution so that you do not drop them down inside that opening. Now next you will need to raise that main top, and for this particular style of the dryer, you will need to open the door to allow that to raise up, but to begin with, you are going to take a thin putty knife and go into the gap between the front panel and the main top, locate a spring, press back on that, and just lift up slightly on that top. Do the same on the opposite side. Now, next, you will need to release the tension of the belt on that drum. We are going to reach the right-hand side, locate the idler and the belt, and pull them both towards the cabinet on the right. Once you release the tension on the belt, just slide it off the motor pulley, and using the belt, you will lift that drum. Now you will install that belt around the idler and the motor pulley. You will need to support that drum, so you will take the belt, keeping the groove side of the belt against the drum, over top of the idler pulley, and wrap it around down over the left side of that idler pulley. Push the idler pulley bracket towards the cabinet on the right, which will allow you to take that belt and wrap it around the motor pulley as you release the tension on that idler bracket, which will allow that dock to tighten up. We hope this sorts out your problem!

PartSelect showed seven different possibilities why the dryer wouldn't heat. I removed the two screws to remove the bottom panel and turned the dryer on and noticed that the heating element that ignites the gas was working fine. This meant that it was not getting gas so it could be the gas valve or one of the two gas valve coils which are

I then took both of the coils out by removing two screws and tested each coil again. One coil read 500-850 and the other read zero. This meant that it was no good so I called for the part and received it in three days. I reassembled the parts and turned the dryer on and it fired up after a few seconds. It works as good as new. The part plus shipping was less than $30. My repairman would have charged me $150-$200. While the dryer was apart I gave it a good cleaning with a vacuum and a toothbrush in delicate areas. I also removed and cleaned the lint trap housing by removing two nuts. I didn't know much about gas dryers, but thanks to PartSelect I easily fixed it myself.
There was no problem with lint build-up within the dryer & the exhaust vent. I removed the gas cycling thermostat & thermal fuse from system & dryer still was not operating correctly. The radiant sensor & hi-limit thermostat both seemed to be operating correctly. That left either of the two coils as the culprits. I replaced both coils
