After starting a drying cycle, you can hear a solenoid "click", and normally the burner would light, but nothing happens. The glow plug is not lighting up as well.

You have to check for continuity two thermostats behind the front panel, the hi-limit thermostat mounted on the combustion chamber, the igniter and the flame detector (on side of the combustion chamber). If any of these parts is open, it has to be replaced.
Post the results.

Gene. would you have any diagrams showing where inside the machine these parts are located, and how to gain access to them?

I've isolated and checked continuity on 4 parts in question, and all seem to pass the test. What now?

Check all wires and connectors. If there is nothing wrong then the timer is probably bad. If you can post the wiring diagram, it might help better. - The part number for the timer is AP2042785 Gene.
