Pilot light out of the dryer
Is it as dangerous to have a dryer pilot light out as it is from a gas
furnace? I can't seem to relit the pilot. I'm thinking, till the utility company comes to check it out..is there any real danger..I hope this is not a stupid question...cause if is, spare me |

If in doubt, shut the valve off. lee |

Are you sure it's a pilot light - flame - or is it electronic ignition? |

Most modern dryers use electronic ignition and have no pilot. -- Joseph Meehan Dia 's Muire duit |
