If You Smell Gas
If you smell gas strongly or are unsure, leave the building and call the gas company or 911 once you are outside; do not use light switches, appliance controls, phones near the odor, or anything that could spark.

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 Crestwood Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Crestwood come down to the same handful of parts: the vent and lint path, the heat source, the belt and rollers, and the door and start switches.
Kentucky has no license category for appliance repair as such; the Department of Housing, Buildings and Construction licenses trades such as HVAC (whose scope covers installing and repairing heating, burner and cooling systems), plumbing and electrical.

In Kentucky, you can check a license with the Department of Housing, Buildings and Construction License Search and Verification or report a problem to the Kentucky Attorney General, Office of Consumer Protection.
