Use a screwdriver to remove these screws, taking care not to lose them.
Once the screws are removed, grasp the bottom of the front panel with both hands and gently pull it towards you. The panel should release from the clips that hold it in place.
Please respond to my effort to provide you with the best possible solution by using the "Acceptable Solution" and/or the "Helpful" buttons when the answer has proven to be helpful.

To open the front panel of your Kenmore gas dryer 98042, follow these steps:
1. Unplug the dryer from the electrical outlet or turn off the circuit breaker that supplies power to the dryer.
2. Locate the screws that hold the top panel in place. They are typically located at the back of the dryer, but the exact location may vary depending on the model.
3. Remove the screws using a screwdriver and lift the top panel off the dryer.
4. Locate the screws that hold the front panel in place. These are typically located at the top of the front panel, near the corners.
5. Remove the screws using a screwdriver and set them aside.
6. Tilt the front panel forward and disconnect any wires or cables that connect it to the dryer. Take note of where the wires and cables are connected so you can reconnect them later.
7. With the wires disconnected, lift the front panel off the dryer and set it aside.
You should now have access to the inside of your Kenmore gas dryer 98042.

Unplug your dryer from the electrical outlet.
Step 2
Open the lint trap cover if there is one and remove the lint trap. Locate the two screws that are just under the lint filter and remove them. Set them aside in a safe place.
Step 3
Grasp the top of the dryer firmly with one hand on either side and pull toward you sharply and then lift up slightly. This will release the top of the dryer from the two springs that hold the front panel to the machine.
Step 4
Look at the back of the machine. Near the top will be two screws. Remove them and keep them safe. On some models the screws are Phillips; on other models you will need a flat screwdriver, and on still other models you will need a small crescent wrench to remove these two screws.
Step 5
Gently lift up on the top of the machine. On some models the front will lift up, and on other models the back lifts up toward you. Look at the wires that are attached to the top and note their order. Grasp the connectors and pull the wires straight out so you can lift the top all the way up.
Step 6
Lift up slightly on the front of the machine to release the spring clips that hold the bottom edge of the front panel and then pull the front panel away from the machine and set it to one side. You now have full access to the interior of your Kenmore dryer.
