I have taken all of the screws out of the back but cannot get the back plate off. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? I need to get in to check why I have no heat in the dryer. Your help is apperciated!

Everything is accessed from the front on this dryer: Here is a pic of a princess dryer. This dryer by the way cannot be accessed from the rear at all. You pop the bottom flap springclips to access the heater and limits. The idea being convience of maintenence. This dryer has more than one fuse. Note the location of the various fuses. Some folk call this the DOT dryer. Dryer of tomorrow. I call it the P. I .T .A. dryer. Go figure. To get inside this one you flip the controls like a direct drive top load washer You remove 3 hex head screws and slide the top towards you. You back off or remove some screws below the door, remove the door springs and then remove the screws up top that hold the inner panel to the frame. This dryer has 4 wheels, 2 in front and 2 in back. The Idler is located to the left and has to be routed blind with your arms. This dryer has a moisture sensing wire that attaches right beside the filter. It pays to know this because inevitably that dang wire will be a problem if you do not make a note of where it goes when removing the front. Here is a DOT dryer manual that features moisture sensing control.
