How to troubleshoot a kenmore elite dryer

My kenmore Elite gas dryer model 796 9102 2900 has no heat. There is no lower front panel for access to check the igniter or other components. Do I have to remove the whole front panel to get to the parts? If so, is this a difficult job?
Thank you in advance.

No need for a reply. Got tired of waiting and started taking apart the dryer and found a bad igniter. Will try finding a replacement tomorrow.
