Ok,
We need to know what occurs during the ignition process,
Make sure you have gas supplied to the dryer and gas valve.
Remove the 1"x1" square plastic cover in the front panel, and start the dryer in a timed dry setting.
Using the "peak" hole, observe what occurs:
You should hear a click in the unit,
The igniter should start to glow red,
in a few seconds you should hear another click, and the igniter should start to fade, and the gas should ignite.
No click noise, bad coils or thermostat.
No glow from the igniter, bad igniter,or flame sensor switch.
Glow stays on and no fade, bad flame sensor switch.
Igniter cycles on and off but no flame, bad coils, no gas to gas valve
There could be a broken or loose wire,
Let us know what you find when you observe the burner operation, and we can go on from there.
