Gas vs. Electric: How Each One Heats

How a gas dryer heatsA gas dryer lights a burner with a hot-surface igniter, opens the gas valve through a set of coils and uses a flame sensor to confirm ignition. When the sequence fails, the drum keeps turning but the air stays cool.
Propane conversionsGas dryers are set up for natural gas or propane, and switching requires the manufacturer's conversion parts. That work should be done by someone qualified for gas work.

Fixr puts electric dryer repairs at roughly $50 to $400 and gas dryer repairs at roughly $100 to $450. Source: Fixr - How much does it cost to repair a dryer?

What a Technician Checks on a Gas Dryer

Airflow and the ventA long dry time is most often an airflow problem. A technician checks the lint screen housing, the duct behind the dryer and the exhaust hood outside before replacing any heating parts, because a restricted vent can make a healthy dryer look broken.
Drum belt, rollers and idler pulleySqueals, thumps and a drum that will not turn trace back to the belt, the drum support rollers, the idler pulley or the drum glides. These are wear parts and are often replaced together.

What a Technician Checks on an Electric Dryer

Door switch and start circuitA dryer that does nothing when Start is pressed may have a failed door switch, start switch, fuse or control board. Checking power at the outlet comes first, since an electric dryer needs both legs of a 240-volt circuit to heat.
Heating elementElectric dryers heat with a coiled element. If the drum turns but the air stays cool, the element is checked for continuity along with the thermostats and fuses that feed it.

Gas Safety Around the Dryer

A dryer exhaust system carries combustion gases including carbon monoxide out of the home, so HUD rates a detached, missing or blocked dryer exhaust as a life-threatening deficiency; a CO alarm in the laundry area is recommended with gas dryers.

What La Habra Heights Owners Should Know
