Hello nabume. Welcome to the Gas Appliances topic and the Do-It-Yourself Web Site.
The dryer does not have a pilot light. The ignition to light the burner flame is a glowing hot surface igniter. (HSI) Be sure all the control panel selections are set correctly. Not set in any selection for fluff or air dry.
Warranty may still be in effect if unit is as new as mentioned. Contact Sears customer services center at phone number provided. More info can be found in the help sticky note in this forum topic.

Could be any one of many reasons why dryer fails to heat. Would need far more detailed and specific info to accurately diagnose all possible causes for the described problem.
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.
