I want to remove the lint vent cover to clean the lint out. I removed the 2 screws in the front but it still will not come apart from the dryer wall. Any suggestions on how to remove it? Thanks
For model number MCG8000AWW
Hello and thank you for writing.
To clean the exhaust duct, shut off the gas and unplug the dryer, then pull the dryer away from the wall and disconnect the duct from the dryer. Use a brush and a vacuum to remove the lint in the duct. If you have a flexible duct (especially the plastic-type!), replace it with a rigid metal duct.
To clean inside the dryer, unplug it and turn off the gas, then open either the top or the front. The procedure is the same for gas and electric dryers. For dryers with a top lint filter and a solid front panel, remove the lint filter and take out the two screws on the side of the lint filter opening. Pull the top forward. Disconnect the door-switch wires in the front corner, remove the front screws and drop the panel forward. The drum will tip as the panel drops, but this won't damage anything. Just hold it up while you clean.
Brush and vacuum under the drum and at the top and back of the dryer. Clean thoroughly around the heating element, but work gently around wires and mechanical parts. Use a long brush to clean the dryer vent screen, then vacuum it from the top and back.
Finally, reassemble the dryer. Put the front into the drum and lift, then drop the front into the catches near the bottom while holding it tight against the sides. Reattach the front screws and wires, then set the top back down.
We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime if you require further assistance.

dryer starts to heat up then stops.if you unplug it and try again does same thing
For model number MCG8000AWW
Hello Terry, thank you for your inquiry. Based on the description that you have provided, we would recommend checking the high limit thermostat, part number PS11742808, to fix the issue. It shuts off the heating element or burner when the dryer overheats. Glad to be of assistance!

I was told by a Sears repairman that the main control board is located in the upper cabinet. I know that there is a control board in the console that controls the timer and heat. Is he correct?
For model number MCG8000AWW
Hi William, thank you for reaching out. There are two control boards in your model. The logic control board is inside the console, and the main control board is near the base assembly. We hope this information helps!

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 located on top of the gas valve. I borrowed my neighbor"s ohm meter and touched the two probes on the coils terminals to check for continuity and found that one of the coils read zero. 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 & the problem was corrected.
Timer wasn't working on the regular cycle so I replace it with a new one from partselect. It still wasn't working so I ordered and replace the cycling thermostat, the thermal fuse I also cleaned the vent and dryer it still didn't work so I read the diagram for the electrical and found that a coil for the gas valve is line with timer. I ordered the coils for the valves, replaced both valves and tested the dryer and it work just like when I first bought the appliance.
