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.

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.

What Aztec Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Aztec 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.
Natural gas piping and gas appliance work needs a Construction Industries Division MM-2 (natural gas fitting) or MM-98 (mechanical) license, with journeyman gas fitter certification for workers; the plumbing-only MM-1 class excludes gas appliances and gas piping, and LP gas systems fall under a separate LP gas classification.

New Mexico has no appliance-repair-only license; installing, repairing and servicing natural gas piping and listed gas appliances falls under the Construction Industries Division's MM-2 natural gas fitting classification. Source: CID License Classifications and Scopes (City of Albuquerque)
