A gas dryer that tumbles but stays cold usually points to the ignition system, while an electric dryer with the same symptom points to the element, fuses or power supply.

What Taos Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Taos 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.

In New Mexico, you can check a license with the NM Regulation and Licensing Department, Construction Industries: Verify a License or report a problem to the New Mexico Department of Justice (Attorney General), Consumer Protection.
