I have a gas Whirlpool dryer model LGR5636LQ0. When it is first turned on in automatic dry, it turns over , the pilot light glows, the gas comes on ignites and the dryer gets warm, but only for a while then soon starts blowing cold air only. The dryer spins the entire time.

You'll need to observe the unit while it's running to see if the ignitor comes back on, yet produces no flame. If that's the case you're probably looking at bad coils on the gas valve. See below.

Part number: AP3094251

Thank you, this looks like the problem. Next question: how do I open my dryer to install these parts?

Pull out the lint filter on top, remove two screws that you see. Using a putty knife a couple inches in from the corners you should find some spring clips that when pushed on they will release the top.

Should be a couple of screws going into the front panel up near the top on each side. Should be a couple at the bottom of the front also. That should get you inside. Below is a link that may assist you.

Did you use the link I sent you with pictures of everything? Picture # 2 shows you an exploded view of the valve along with the picture of the coils I sent a picture of.

Below is a link to how belts are routed. Scroll down to the bottom and you'll see the Whrilpool one.
