I believe it is called the "pilot light"
It is called a pilot light.
your pilot generater or thermocouple is probly bad
== == Yes!
modern heaters have a thermocouple that would shut off gas supply if the pilot goes out.
Kenmore eliteelectric dryer model # 110600729990 says its drying, nothing happens
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.
The Kenmore Gas Dryer will not heat and dry clothing.
This model # is Gas (I own one)
How do you relight a natural gas pilot light?
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.

because its leaking out gas
When pilot light goes out, gas flows out of the pilot light nozzle. If out has continued for a long time, a gas cloud can develop around the furnace. When you go to light the pilot light, you'll ignite this gas cloud and make a big fire ball. If your basement is drafty, you might never get a huge cloud of gas hovering around your furnace. When you notice that your pilot light is out, you should shut off the gas to the furnace and allow any stray gas to dissipate before you turn the gas back on and light the pilot light. alliedallcityinc.com
I believe it is called the "pilot light"
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.
I always thought dryers were electric, but then what do I know! LOL It's best to get a gas man in or a repairman. Don't fool around with it yourself.
