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.

Gas Dryer Parts That Fail

Drive motorIf the dryer hums but the drum does not move, or it starts only after a push, the motor or its start circuit is tested. On many models the motor also turns the blower wheel, so airflow and tumbling fail together.
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.

No Heat on an Electric Dryer

Drive motorIf the dryer hums but the drum does not move, or it starts only after a push, the motor or its start circuit is tested. On many models the motor also turns the blower wheel, so airflow and tumbling fail together.
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.

Gas Dryer Safety

Around Greeneville

Most dryer calls in Greeneville 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 piping and gas appliance installation permits are handled by local governments, some of which require their own gas fitter license; for example, Chattanooga requires a city Master Gas Fitter License to pull a gas permit. Source: City of Chattanooga: Gas Permit

In Tennessee, you can check a license with the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance: Verify a License or report a problem to the Tennessee Division of Consumer Affairs (Office of the Attorney General).

Questions to Ask a Greeneville Technician

  • Is your company licensed where my state requires it, and insured?
  • Will you check the vent and lint path as part of the visit?
  • Can you give a written estimate before ordering parts?

Gas & Electric Dryer Repair FAQs: Greeneville, TN

Are gas dryers more expensive to repair?
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.
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.
Can a gas dryer be repaired by any technician?
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.

Before a technician visits, confirm the gas shutoff behind the dryer is open (or the breaker is on for an electric model) and clean the lint screen. If you smell gas, leave first and call your gas utility.
