If all the selection controls on the front panel are set correctly and the dryer does not heat, check the hot surface ignitor (HSI) If the glow ignitor is not glowing, the selections are set to heat, the door safety switch is operational, etc, chances are good the ignitor is burned out.
You will need to turn off the gas and unplug the dryer from the electrical power. Than remove the entire burner assembly. Than remove the hsi and replace it with a new original part.
Additional Suggestions:
Read the manufacturers online web site for product information, problem possibilities, causes, solving methods, part locations, disassembly, reassembly methods, repair procedures, pictorials, schematics, downloadable repair and or owners manuals which may be available online.
Retail appliance parts dealers can also help determine what the most likely possible problem may be. They will need the make, model and serial numbers. Appliance parts dealers are an excellent source for original replacement parts and problem resolving matters. Dealers are listed in the phone book under appliances.
Be sure the electrical power to the appliance is turned off, before attempting any repairs. Always check for gas leaks whenever moving the appliance and/or a repair includes any connection of a gas part.
