Hello efoxred and Welcome into my Gas Appliances topic.
May be the solenoids on top of the gas control valve or the (HSI) is burned out. Turn machine on and watch to see if the HSI glows or does not glow.
If it glows but the burner does not light, most likely the solenoids or one of them is burned out or dropping out. Which will shut off the igniter if ignition does not take place. Far more detailed information in the sticky note. Suggest you read that post.
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.
Read the existing questions on the subject of dryers. Doing so will more quickly provide you with answers to questions & provide additional information on how to resolve the problem.
