Can you have a gas dryer and a washing machine on the same dedicated 20 amp service?

An electrician would put in two separate circuits since there is no telling in future that gas dryer might be replaced. You need to look at the breaker protecting the circuit and see if the current from the dryer and washer when added together don't exceed 80% of the breaker rating. Also the start up current for the dryer tumbler and washing machine motor don't add up to more than the breaker rating when added together. This is where problems will occur since start up currents may be 6 times running current.

How much amperage does a gas clothes dryer draw?
Check the nameplate rating on the door or door frame of your washer, it should tell you the amp rating or the kw rating of the machine. If it only has the KW rating of the machine, simply divide the KW rating by the voltage of the receptacle and it'll give you the current (ampere) rating. Typically, a modern washing machine will draw approximately 7-12 amps. However, anticipate a higher amperage when starting the machine as the machine will draw 1.5X the rated current to start the machine (starting current). Regardless of the amp rating, the NFPA-70 (National Electrical Code) requiresa 20 Amp fuse or circuit breaker; and the circuit for the washing machine must be on its own, dedicated circuit.

How do you replace dryer door switch 3406102?
I removed the switch today 6 July 08. There were two screws in the back of the washer attached to the hinges which allow the top of the dryer to open. Two screws that hold the lint trap to the inside of the dryer and two screws that hold the dryer door switch. After you remove all of the screws you can lift the dryer top from the front and it will rotate on the hinges in the back. Then you can unplug the switch and plug in a new one. Hope this helps.
How far from a laundry tub faucet should you install an electric dryer outlet?
There is no requirement on the distance the dryer must be from a sink. Any 120 volt outlet must be GFCI protected if it is within 6 feet of a sink. There is no requirement for a 240 volt dryer outlet. I would not want the dryer right next to the sink and I would want the dryer to be on a 4 wire circuit and not a 3 wire circuit. Use common sense here.
