before you go ripping the thing apart - check for a lint build-up in the ductwork and clean it out. restricted air flow is 90% of problems.

I'm afraid that is not enough information to identify the appliance in question. What is needed is its exact model number ("quiet plus 2" isn't it). If you post it we can look it up to see what appliance design you're dealing with.

A first step in diagnosing heating problems in gas dryers is usually to inspect to see exactly what the gas burner and its ignitor is doing when it should be heating.

You can read about how most gas dryer burners operates at the following link:
