It will heat up initially, but after a dry cycle the clothes are still damp/wet. occasionally I can smell a gas odor after it has been running for some time. I have checked all of the sensors/thermostats after taking off the back cover with an ohm meter, but I have not opened to the igniter assy on the inside. Any idea as to where to begin with the troubleshooting?
