The dryer has power, and runs fine but after much testing, there appears to be NO power going from the Motor switch to the Gas control valve and ignitor. Is it possible that the motor switch has failed?

Hello MikeDK. Welcome to the Gas Appliances topic and the Do-It-Yourself Web Site.
Very possible the motor switch failed. The motor must be running before the igniter will glow. If the switch can be replaced as a separate part from the motor, replace it as a first attempt to fix the problem.
Additional Suggestions:
Read the manufacturers on-line 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 on-line.
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.
Always check for gas leaks whenever moving the appliance and/or a service or repair includes any connection of a gas part.
