These prior postings and any or all the replies offered within them contain almost all the required information needed pertaining to the many potential and or possible problems with the stoves unit like your describing.
Additional Suggestions:
Read the manufacturers online web site for product information, problem possibilities, causes and solving methods, part locations, disassembly, reassembly methods, repair procedures and instructions, pictorials and schematics, all or part of which may be available online.
An excellent source for orginal replacement parts is your local retail appliance parts store. Bring the make, model and serial numbers. The info will help to determine the possible problem causes.
Appliance part stores test and carry replacement parts for almost every brand. The locations for the dealers, agents and retail part stores are listed in the phone book.

Hello: Manofsteel
After replacing the glow ignitor and the ignitor still fails to glow, you will have to determine if the flame sensor is working, the solenoids on the gas valve are working. Both must be getting electrical power to them.
Any selection knobs available on the control panel may also be all or part of the problem. There is also the possibility the timer is not functioning correctly. The timers internal contacts may not be functioning.
The prior asked question on the subject of dryers that do not heat have all the possible problem conditions described. Within them are all the possible solutions to correct the problem with your dryer. Reading them will provide the answers in detail.
Also use the search button to locate questions on dryers that do not heat. The search button is provided at the topic of every web page in the upper right hand blue section. Use the search words dryer does not heat or dryer no heat or like phrases.
Happy Holidays
