Gas and electric dryers share the same drum, belt, motor and vent, but the heat source is completely different, and so are the parts that fail. The Hutchinson listings below put companies that mention gas appliance or dryer work first, followed by other appliance repair companies nearby.

What Hutchinson Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Hutchinson come down to the same handful of parts: the vent and lint path, the heat source, the belt and rollers, and the door and start switches.
The state does not license gas fitters; contractors doing gas work must be bonded with the Department of Labor and Industry, and cities such as Minneapolis and St. Paul set their own gas fitter licensing. Source: DLI: Mechanical contractor bond requirements
In Minnesota, you can check a license with the DLI License and Registration Lookup or report a problem to the Minnesota Attorney General's Office, Consumer Assistance.
