Maytag Performa Gas Dryers don't have pilot lights. This form of ignition went out of favor decades ago. They now use an igniter glow coil( the heater element) that heats up to a glowing red color to light the main burner.

How do you light the pilot on a whirlpool gas dryer?
I don't know of any dryers that have a pilot light. They have glow plugs which glow red hot before the gas valve is opened so that the gas will ignite. If the glow plug is not working it probably has a crack and needs to be replaced. The dryer will not start without it.

Does ge gas dryer have a safety to turn off gass if power goes out?
Yes ….Your dryer, like many hot water heaters and gas ranges has a device called a "thermal coupler" This device relies on the heat from a pilot light to keep it on while there is power to the thermal relay. Now, If the thermal coupler fails or if the pilot light goes out, The relay shuts the gas off at the valve to prevent gas from filling the house. The difference between the range, heater and dryer is that the dryer has the safety built in to disable the gas for total power failure. The range and heater can still run with out electricity.
