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.
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.

Fixr puts electric dryer repairs at roughly $50 to $400 and gas dryer repairs at roughly $100 to $450. Source: Fixr - How much does it cost to repair a dryer?

What a Technician Checks 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.
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.

Electric 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.
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.

Gas Dryer Safety
