** Air vent is clear. **

Not only does it have to be clear but it can't be too long (see the following link) either. Has the dryer always been in the same location and working Ok??

** After turning the unit on the burner runs for a few seconds and goes out. **

Does the ignitor continue to glow the whole time or does it cycle on and off too?

If the venting is *definitely* not the problem and the ignitor cycles on and off (glows then you hear a click and it goes dark), there's a very good chance that the solenoid coils on the gas valve are defective and need to be replaced.
