Default Pilot light?
Model Number: LDG8904AAE   Brand: Maytag   Age: 1 - 5 years   

Hello Users,
I haven't owned a gas dryer in decades so a friend recently gave me one. I know absolutely nothing about this machine. I can't figure out how to light the pilot light. Is there a pilot light? Hooked up the gas line and am stuck. I feel stupid for posting this but I'm in need of help. I appreciate anyones help, thanks.....

Pilots have gone the way of the wagon. You have an electric ignitor that heats up to lite the gas. If you're not heating try to observe the symptoms and post back so we can help you.
Intermitten clicking noise (solenoid openning/closing)?
Runs normally no clicking?
You should have a sight hole on the lower front. Does the ignitor ever glow?
Answer these questions and anything else you observe.
