Whirlpool Gas Dryer GGQ9800LG0 won't heat

My dryer will come on, but it won't heat up. I see several posts that state the igniter may be bad, but where is it? What is the best way to find/access the igniter in the dryer.

my dryer heats only for a moment. I've taken off the rear panel. If it's the heating element, where is it and what does it look like?
