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 Bay Shore Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Bay Shore 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.
Gas work licensing is set locally; in New York City, for example, the Department of Buildings requires gas work to be done by a Licensed Master Plumber or by Gas Work Qualification holders under a master plumber's supervision.
