How Gas and Electric Dryers Differ

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.
What they shareBoth types use the same drum, belt, rollers, motor and blower, and both depend on a clear vent. Many no-heat calls on either type start and end with the vent.

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?

Gas Dryer Parts That Fail

Igniter, valve coils and flame sensorGas dryers light the burner with a glowing igniter, open the gas valve with a set of coils and confirm the flame with a sensor. When the igniter glows but the burner never lights, the valve coils are a frequent culprit.
Thermal fuse and thermostatsA thermal fuse is a one-time safety device that opens when the dryer overheats. A blown fuse usually points to a blocked vent, so a good technician replaces the fuse and finds out why it blew.

No Heat on an Electric 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.
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 Dryer Safety

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.
