Problem with Dryers

Kenmore 97591220 gas dryer spins but won't heat...

Everything works fine, just the dryer won't heat. Usually I can see blue flame underneath in the dark, but no flame. No matter the setting, same results.

Where to begin?? (I can't find anything on my model, but it's a basic dial-control w/ the lower lint screen....nothin' fancy)

Thanks!

    • Where would the pilot be?



      I did finally find the dryer on searsparts dot com but don't see a place for a pilot. (was thinking maybe 'ignitor' or something?)



      I'll be very happy if it's just a pilot.
