Aw crap. And I was so sure of myself.

But in my defense, I've never taken a gas clothes drier apart before, so I don't know what all the parts do.

What does a flame sensor do? Clearly it senses that there is a flame, but couldn't a thermostat do the same thing? Is it a safety device to keep unburnt natural gas from entering the house if there is no ignition?
