Gas vs. Electric: How Each One Heats

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.
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.

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?

Gas Dryer Parts That Fail

Door switch and start circuitA dryer that does nothing when Start is pressed may have a failed door switch, start switch, fuse or control board. Checking power at the outlet comes first, since an electric dryer needs both legs of a 240-volt circuit to heat.
Drum belt, rollers and idler pulleySqueals, thumps and a drum that will not turn trace back to the belt, the drum support rollers, the idler pulley or the drum glides. These are wear parts and are often replaced together.

What a Technician Checks on an Electric Dryer

Door switch and start circuitA dryer that does nothing when Start is pressed may have a failed door switch, start switch, fuse or control board. Checking power at the outlet comes first, since an electric dryer needs both legs of a 240-volt circuit to heat.
Moisture sensor and controlsSensor-dry cycles stop when two metal strips inside the drum read dry clothes. Fabric-softener film on those strips can end cycles early or let them run long, and a technician checks them before blaming the control board.

Gas Dryer Safety

Gas & Electric Dryer Repair FAQs: Norton, OH

Who can work on a gas dryer?
Many appliance repair companies service gas dryers, including igniters, valve coils and burners. Work on the gas supply line itself may require a licensed gas or plumbing contractor depending on your state.
Which areas near Norton do these technicians cover?
The companies on this page are within driving distance of Norton. Each one sets its own service area, so check the distance shown and confirm your address when you call.
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.
How do I know if my dryer is 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.
