Dryer stopped heating.
We have good power to the unit. The gas line is delivering gas.
The igniter doesn't ignite. Everything is clean and looks in good shape.

I've got a meter and the diagram of the burner assembly.
What do I do now?

First I would check the igniter for continuity, if none, just replace it. If ok check the main connector for the gas valve assembly. Should have 115 volts. If not trace back to the timer for missing voltage and post results.

I just spent the entire day fixing my gas dryer. If the igniter never glows, then check the continuity of the thermal fuse. Just remove the back panel, and you will find the thermal fuse near the bottom center of the back of the dryer. It is located on the blower housing and attached with one machine screw. On my dryer there is a red and blue wire connected to the terminals of the fuse. A real easy fix if that is the problem.
