Drum turns. Ignitor replaced. No flame. Is there a heat element or coil in a gas dryer? Should I be looking for a flame near the ignitor?
Thanks for any suggestions.

I assume the gas is turned on?

There are coils on the gas valve that do go bad,naturally the timer also controls the gas valve so it could be various other parts. If you have a meter and know how to use it there is a wiring diagram somewhere on the unit that will show the electrical path for the burner and the rest of the dryer.
