Since the dryer igniter is glowing, the fuse should be ok. I'd replace the coils. 97% bad coils / 3% bad gas valve.

- Dryer coils for your Whirlpool.

- Breakdown diagrams for Model LG7686XPW0

Also, as long as you're in there... Check the belt for cracks, replace if found (dryer belt). Vacuum any lint inside the dryer.
