The burner may not ignite initially due to air in the gas line. Allowing your dryer to operate on a heat setting will purge the line. If the gas does not ignite within 5 minutes, turn your dryer off and wait

5 minutes. Be sure the gas supply to your dryer has been turned on. In order to confirm gas ignition, check the exhaust for heat.
