Which Kind of Dryer Do You Have?

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.
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.

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

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.
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.

Electric Dryer Parts That Fail

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.
Drive motorIf the dryer hums but the drum does not move, or it starts only after a push, the motor or its start circuit is tested. On many models the motor also turns the blower wheel, so airflow and tumbling fail together.

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 Auburn Hills Owners Should Know

How to Choose a Dryer Technician Near Auburn Hills

  • Will you check the vent and lint path as part of the visit?
  • Do you work on gas dryers, and who handles anything involving the gas line?

Gas & Electric Dryer Repair FAQs: Auburn Hills, MI

How do I know if my dryer is gas or electric?
