Inspection and access
I first found a restriction in the exhaust ventilation. A dryer cannot move moisture out properly with a blocked vent, so the customer arranged vent cleaning before the follow-up work.
Repair and reassembly
On the return visit, I opened the dryer to reach the burner and blower area. The drum was removed for access, and the photos show the gas burner assembly, blower housing and open control console.
The completed service included the dryer repair kit and maintenance. I reassembled the dryer after the internal work; the invoice does not identify a separate control-board replacement.
