There is normally a button you have to hold in until the thermocouple takes over- about 30 seconds after you light it.

THe "button"may be in the form of a KNOB with an indicator

I moved and cannot locate the pilot/ignition source on the dryer to relight it.

It's been many, many years since dryers had pilot lights. Look for an igniter that may have gone out. It should be behind a service door.

Need to relight pilot light on MDG6200AWW gas dryer.

That unit has an electronic ignitor. You should not have to lite the pilot. There is no pilot to lite. If the dryer is taking longer then normal to heat. Check your vent to the outside. If the ignitor is not turning on it could be the ignitor, flame sensor and or thermal fuse. Check D.I.Y. Appliance Repair Troubleshooting to see if there is anything that can help you there.
