Hard get a tech on the phone there at Raypaul. I have been waiting for a call back all day. >:(
So the dryer goes through the purge cycle, you can hear the pilot gas solenoid valve click to open. Gas meter needle rises to 3 and then drops back to zero, so no ignition. It does that cycle a couple of more times and then I get no response from the gas meter at all. I have checked fuses they are good.
Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.

Is there a viewing port where you can watch for the spark plug firing?
If you are getting flame at all check your flame rod if it uses one, or photoeye thing
if it's that type.

I heard your Ribbitt Frog!
1. Establish that you have gas coming thru the solonoid valve which you have done.
2. Make sure you are getting spark
a) check spark plug to make sure gap is about .035-.040
b)Inspect ignition wire for cuts that could be arcing to ground, and that connection with plug is tight.
c) Take plug out and put on the ground (do not hold) and cycle. When the solonoid valve opens you
Should see a good spark. If you do re install. Do the same again, look tru port and you should see flame. If you do, good! If you don’t you are starving for gas( either solonoid or maxitrol valve problem.
4. If you see fllame, then remove flame rod and make sure it is clean. Sand with 320grir to clean. Make
Sure wire is in good condition, crack free . Conections are tight. How long since flame rod was changed?
The vulcan uses the honeywell low end control. There should be test jacks on burner control . If so put
Voltmeter on dc and check reading of voltage at time of fire. I think the burner controller needs at least
1.5 volts to operate I will check!
No voltage? Change flamerod. Good voltage? Then it is a flame amplfier problem. Which you would change
Burner controller( grainger)
Hope this helps!

You also can always find a local heating and cooling guy to look at it.
