How Gas and Electric Dryers Differ

How an electric dryer heatsAn electric dryer runs current through a coiled heating element, protected by a thermal fuse and cycling and high-limit thermostats. It needs both legs of a 240-volt circuit to heat.
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

Igniter, valve coils and flame sensorGas dryers light the burner with a glowing igniter, open the gas valve with a set of coils and confirm the flame with a sensor. When the igniter glows but the burner never lights, the valve coils are a frequent culprit.
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

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.
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 Richfield
