Gas Safety Around the Dryer
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.

Dryer Notes for St. Michael, MN
Most dryer calls in St. Michael 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.
The state does not license gas fitters; contractors doing gas work must be bonded with the Department of Labor and Industry, and cities such as Minneapolis and St. Paul set their own gas fitter licensing. Source: DLI: Mechanical contractor bond requirements
In Minnesota, you can check a license with the DLI License and Registration Lookup or report a problem to the Minnesota Attorney General's Office, Consumer Assistance.
How to Choose a Dryer Technician Near St. Michael
