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.

Angi says gas dryer repairs typically run about $50 to $100 more than comparable electric dryer repairs. Source: Angi - How Much Does It Cost to Repair a Dryer?

No Heat on a Gas Dryer

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.
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

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.
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.

If You Smell Gas

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 Heat-Source Repairs Cost

Here is what published cost guides report for the heat-source parts and other common dryer repairs:

What Papillion Owners Should Know

Most dryer calls in Papillion 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.

Nebraska has no state agency licensing plumbers; plumbing licensing, including gas fitter licenses in cities such as Lincoln, is set locally by city or village plumbing boards. Source: Nebraska Legislature: report on regulation of Master Plumbers (Legislative Council)

In Nebraska, you can check a license with the Nebraska Department of Labor contractor registration (Search Registered Contractors and Subcontractors) or report a problem to the Nebraska Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.

Questions to Ask a Papillion Technician

  • What guarantee do you give on parts and labor?
  • 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: Papillion, NE

What should I do if I smell gas near my dryer?
Yes. Do not operate switches or the dryer. Leave the house and call your gas utility or 911 from outside, and only call a repair company after the utility says it is safe.
Which costs more to fix, gas or electric?
The common heat-source parts on both are modestly priced, and labor is similar. Gas dryers add ignition parts that electric models do not have. Our cost guide lists published ranges for both.
Is my dryer gas or electric?
A gas dryer has a gas pipe and shutoff valve behind it and plugs into a regular household outlet. An electric dryer plugs into a large 240-volt outlet and has no gas line. The rating label inside the door also says which it is.
