My WHite Knight Tumble Dryer is spinning but not igniting?

I have a problem with my White Knight tumble dryer, the drum is spinning fine however it is not igniting or clicking to ignite either. Any suggestions would be appreciated as there are no corgi register people around here who seem to be licenced with the gas tumble dryer certificate.

Thank you in advance

Usually the drum runs for about 20 secs and then the spark ignitor clicks away.The spark generator unit which is usually located under the lid could be faulty.If it does click but not igniting it could be either fluffed up or one of the burner solenoids has gone.Ive just today thrown mine in the bin.Only 3 yrs old and the motor has started to seize stopping the drum from turning.This is the 2nd appliance in about 7 yrs.At £300 a time ive had enough.
