Gas and electric dryers share the same drum, belt, motor and vent, but the heat source is completely different, and so are the parts that fail. The Philomath listings below put companies that mention gas appliance or dryer work first, followed by other appliance repair companies nearby.

Local Notes for Philomath
Most dryer calls in Philomath 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.
Businesses that install, alter or repair LP gas appliances, piping or vent connections need an LP gas installation license, and the individuals doing the work need a fitter license, both from the Oregon State Fire Marshal; natural gas licensing was not confirmed.

In Oregon, you can check a license with the Oregon Construction Contractors Board Contractor/License Search or report a problem to the Oregon Department of Justice, Consumer Protection.
