The gas smell never happened again, and we went ahead with the replacement of the right roller which helped the noisy situation considerably, and we also have the inside a good cleaning. The gas valve seems to work fine and the flame is strong. The left roller, however was a problem--I couldn't figure out how to get the tinnerman (?) clip off since it is so tight against the triangle clip, and there is still a "ch-ch-ch-ch" noise (about 10x per drum revolution). The left roller looks okay but could that sound be from a slight invisible wearing of the roller? Or could it be the felt bearing around the front of the drum? Otherwise the dryer is still working fine and heats well.

The dryer still dries well, though it rumbles loudly and we are considering replacing the rollers and shafts, which seems to be a minor cost if the gas valve isn't a problem.

Hi. Use bubble leak detctor Part number: AP3766089
on all gas lines at all the connectors. Snug the connections while using 2- wrenches. Use one to firmly hold the device that the connector is connected to.Then the 2nd wrench on the connector itself. Then check with the bubble soap for leaks and shown bubbles. Do this at all connections coming from the wall behind the unit and the unit shut off valve behind the unit. Check the unit pressure regulator connections. Then Replace the flex line from the saftey valve to the back of the unit. Carefully coil the flex line so it has an accoriding effect when you push the unit back in. The original line may have a issue and need replaced. Be sure to wipe all soap off the connections after reapplying gas supply. Let us know what you find and if we can assist you further. Thank You.

I opened it up and everything seems good and tight, not sure where to go from here...

I found a you tube video on how to open up the front panel. As soon as I get some time I will be checking for leaks inside the dryer.

I could not locate a service manual for this model dryer.
I will do some asking around. If you find one please consider sharing it with me. :)
