No heat from Maytag gas dryer LDG9824AAE, it does run. No glow at igniter, don't know where the thermal fuse or cycling thermostat is located. Where are they? I presume I should check for continuity on those two items first, is this correct?

Replying to my own post here to help others who might have the same issue: the thermal fuse and the cycling thermostat are both located on the exhaust coming from the drum, accessible from the front. After looking at a copy of the wiring schematics found under the control panel it appeared that on this model the motor would not run if the thermal fuse was blown, I checked it anyway and got continuity. Did not have continuity thru the igniter and once removed could easily see that it was bad. Hopefully replacing that will solve my problem, we'll see.
