    It must be a really old dryer to have a pilot lite.

    According to this image you have a hot surface type ignitor system known as HSI in the trade.


    It is a good possibility that the ignitor item number 10 is cracked or defective. There are other parts that can also cause the dryer burner not to come on also.
