Intermittently, my dryer won't ignite. I can visually see the glow plug glowing but it will not ignite. Any clues as to what I should be looking for?

i have not seen but was told by another tech once in a while a ignitor will look red but not be hot enough to light the gas. so replace ignitor. (save your old one just in case

I noticed a small window in the gas ignition tube. Is this the eye that sees the glow plug? I found it pretty dirty, cleaned it, and watched the dryer ignite for two cycles. I am going to try and dry a load of clothes to see if maybe it works. Any thoughts?
