Looks like you need a new igniter. These things are VERY fragile and you must be very careful when installing the new one.

This is a new problem? No, it's not related to a bad igniter but sounds like a bad motor switch which could also cause your no heat problem. Now I'm not sure on your feedback to my troubleshooting help so you may want to call a tech rather than waste money on parts you don't need. Trying to walk laypersons through electrical troubleshooting is usually an exercise in frustration.

since the drum was removed the belt break switch prevented the dryer from running continuously . I ordered the ignitor . Thank you for all your help and patience.
