    In this case, plumber “A” had looked at this a month ago (less severe ignition then) along with complaint of small visible exhaust leak and CO alarm activation. Concluded that clothes dryer needed cleaning and ignition was normal. Plumber B came a month later (A’s truck broke down), sealed exhaust and replaced hot surface igniter, which solved ignition problem. It’s been fine since then. We’re not calling A again.

    The burner is dirty it’s needs to be cleaned..
    You can hear the gas valve open but what sometimes happens is dirt gets into some of the holes in the burner and the gas can’t come out..
    The clear holes let the gas out but if the clear holes are far from the ignighter / pilot light it takes a few seconds for the gas to reach the ignighter.. What you see here is usually the result..
