Only smells of gas while running, only smells of gas when trying to dry a wet load, does not dry the load when gas smell is present. Took off front of dryer, watched the coil flow, the gas fire and everything the process cycle repeat. Cannot determine if this is the same problem others are having with their gas valve coils, nobody has said anything about a gas smell. Please help.
