Gas vs. Electric: How Each One Heats

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.
How a gas dryer heatsA gas dryer lights a burner with a hot-surface igniter, opens the gas valve through a set of coils and uses a flame sensor to confirm ignition. When the sequence fails, the drum keeps turning but the air stays cool.

Angi notes electric dryers are easier to fix with simple parts like belts, switches and heaters, while gas dryer work calls for a gas appliance repair professional. Source: Angi - Gas vs. Electric Dryers

No Heat on a Gas Dryer

Thermal fuse and thermostatsA thermal fuse is a one-time safety device that opens when the dryer overheats. A blown fuse usually points to a blocked vent, so a good technician replaces the fuse and finds out why it blew.
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.

Electric Dryer Parts That Fail

Power supplyElectric dryers run on a 240-volt circuit. A tripped breaker on one leg can leave the drum spinning with no heat, which is why a technician checks the outlet before ordering parts.
Airflow and the ventA long dry time is most often an airflow problem. A technician checks the lint screen housing, the duct behind the dryer and the exhaust hood outside before replacing any heating parts, because a restricted vent can make a healthy dryer look broken.

If You Smell Gas

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 Heat-Source Repairs Cost

Here is what published cost guides report for the heat-source parts and other common dryer repairs:

Dryer Notes for Linglestown, PA

Most dryer calls in Linglestown 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.

There is no statewide plumbing or trade license in Pennsylvania, so any licensing for gas piping work is set by the municipality where the work happens (Philadelphia, for example, issues its own plumber licenses). Source: Contractor Licensing (Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry)

In Pennsylvania, you can check a license with the PA Office of Attorney General Home Improvement Contractor Registration Search or report a problem to the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General.

Questions to Ask a Linglestown Technician

  • What is the service call or diagnostic fee, and is it applied to the repair?
  • How often do you repair your brand dryers, and do you carry common parts on the truck?
  • Can you look at the washer on the same visit if it is acting up too?

Gas & Electric Dryer Repair FAQs: Linglestown, PA

Which costs more to fix, gas or electric?
The common heat-source parts on both are modestly priced, and labor is similar. Gas dryers add ignition parts that electric models do not have. Our cost guide lists published ranges for both.
Is my dryer 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.
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.
