I have a 1989 Speed Queen Commercial Heavy Duty Dryer. It won't heat anymore.Let me also tell you that I was out leaf blowing around the outside vent. Did I blow the pilot out? Does it even have a piolt or is it a ignitor? Please help. I can not find the owners manual and no where on the web can I find out any info.

Hello wiggie. Welcome to my Gas Appliances topic and the Do-It-Yourself Web Site.
I highly doubt the leaf blowers wind had any part in the cause for the dryer not to heat. Chances are the Hot Surface glow Igniter (HSI) burner out or does not glow hot enough to allow the burners internal gas valve to open, etc.
This forum topic has hundreds of already asked and answered questions pertaining to dryers which do not heat. Reading a few of them plus the dryer help sticky note here (http://forum.doityourself.com/showthread.php?t=159481) will provide all the possible problems and solutions.
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, down loadable 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 or services. Always check for gas leaks whenever moving the appliance and/or a service or repair includes any connection of a gas part.

DRYER SERVICE TIP:
It's always advisable to clean the entire exhaust venting system every 2 years. Or during any dryer maintenance and or repairs.
