SOURCE: I have a Kenmore 70 Series gas dryer, model
Pull the dryer away from the wall, there is no bottom on the dryer, so the screws should be on the floor.
You can then pop the lid up from the front and fold it back. When you do, you will see the drum. Roll the drum around until you see the holes and reattach the tumblers.
You can also access the drum from below. Tip the dryer on its back and you can see the drum from the bottom.
Good luck.
Regards,

SOURCE: Kenmore 80 Series gas dryer starts with heat but very short time
If gas is available after burner ignition for 3 - 10 seconds but then cuts out, this is an indication of a (1) lint clogged exhaust line,or (2) a fan suction bypass leak, both of which are resulting in insuffucient burner cone air/gas flow. Insufficient burner air flow results in actuating the high temperature limit thermostat or thermoswitch (usually a L220-40F thermostat) mounted on the topside of the cone. With inadequate cone air flow, burner flames are directed upward toward the thermostat instead of being pulled into the cone and then into the hot air supply for the dryer drum.
For (1), clear the exhaust line from the lint filter to the discharge louvers on the exterior of your home. Access to the backside of the dryer is necessary.
For (2), check the lint filter to fan suction connection for any possible leak paths. Access to the front interior of the dryer is necessary.
For a DG512, the front assembly that houses the lint filter and abuts the front end of the drum has a short duct that fits into the suction side of the casing for the squirrel-cage fan. This duct has a tendency to separate from the fan casing (its a slip fit) resulting in bypass leakage. If suction bypass leakage is occuring, this is air that is not being pulled through the drum, and hence, is not being pulled through the burner cone. As indicated above, a low cone air flow results in actuating the high limit thermostat, which then deenergizes the gas coils cutting of gas to the burner.
Note: These symptoms are NOT indicative of failed gas coils, since gas is being supplied initially to the burner for a period of 3 - 10 seconds. If the coil(s) have failed, the burner could not operate for any duration.

ALWAYS UNPLUG YOUR DRYER BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO DO ANY WORK ON IT.
If you have to replace your drum belt and if you have a front loading machine.
Remove the electrical console that holds the timer switch, start switch, etc. from the top of the dryer. Be real careful not to knock any of the wires off of the timer switch. Then remove the top of the dryer.
Remove the front of the machine, this will expose the belt and drum, remove the drum and belt and this will expose the drum rollers, idler arm bracket with pulley, and motor with pulley. Pay attention to the route of the belt, this will come in handy when you go to reinstall the belt and drum.
Sometimes the belt will slip off of the idler arm or motor causing the drum not to turn.
While you have the drum out, I would recommend that you lubricate the drum rollers at the shaft of the roller with a good grade of machine oil like 3 in One oil. This will save you a problem later with the rollers getting noisy, also check your drum rollers for flat spots, if they have flat spots on them this will cause a noise like a thumping type noise. You will need to replace the drum rollers if they have flat spots on them.
