A few months back my LG gas dryer stopped heating. It would, SOMETIMES, and i would always be excited but eventually it got to the point where it stopped heating for good. I looked up some things and purchased a new igniter and thermostat. I put these in expecting results and nothing. Still doesnt heat. I then figured out how to press the diagnostic button and it said 0% for gas. I tried turning the gas valve on the wall back and forth and nothing either way. Even when i disconnected the dryer when putting the parts in I didnt smell gas. Could it not be heating because theres no gas getting to the dryer? Or maybe its the gas intake inside the machine? clogged? I dont know? Im a girl so doing all this really isnt my cup of tea but I have been air drying my clothes for the past three months and Im sick of it. Do I need a plumber for the gas line or is it another part in the dryer? Plumbers have a service call fee and Im just at a loss. Any advice would be very appreciated. Thank you.

Could be gas supply but i doubt it because other things would be a affected like your water heater and stove if it's gas......try continuity testing the items in the heating circuit like the thermal fuse and thermal cutoffs and thermostats if those ohm out good and since you replaced the ignitor then i'd suspect you might have bad coils there cheap around 20 bucks give them a try.....also since the fact you stated it would work sometimes then not that's a typical bad coils symptom they'll work great off and on this can go on for months then they finally give out and fail altogether.
