I will be moving into a house with propane gas do I need a propane dryer?
Q. I am using a gas dryer in town now, but when I move I will have to use a propane dryer. Can I use propane on my gas dryer? Lynnette

A. I am certainly glad that I do not need to rely on some of these answerers to take care of my gas appliances. A dryer must be converted from natural gas to propane. Propane is under higher pressure than natural gas and therefore you need to change orifices and on some dryers convert a pressure regulator. Check with the propane people as many have their own technicians and may do the job gratis or for a slight fee. If they can do the job for you you should have the model and serial numbers ready to be given to them so they can come out with the right parts and save a second trip and time.

Why won't my propane gas dryer ignite?
Q. I recently converted my brand new gas dryer from natural gas to propane. I'm looking to run out of a 20 lbs propane tank. I'm using the same regulators as my propane gas grill. Did all the connections according to the manual, but now it won't fire. Yes, it's plugged into power, it spins, but no fire on the gas burner...WHY??? What am I missing. (to see if it was lighting or not I left the bottom opened). I tested all connection on my gas grill and it worked, but in the dryer it won't. This is a Maytag performance series we're talking about. What's the propane pressure? Isn't it 1/2 psi? Isn't it the pressure required for gas grill? Do I need to leave the dryer plugged in for a while before starting it? Because all I did was plug it in and… [cont.]

A. what kind of igniter is in the dryer? if its a glow igniter, is it glowing? if not its either the igniter, the valve or the gas pressure. did you retrofit all the gas devices in the dryer or just the burner itself? remember, gas dryers take a couple minutes before they try to ignite.

Asked by red girl - Tue Mar 31 07:59:13 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. You must obtain a conversion kit from the manufacturer. There will be a rating plate on the appliances stating the manufacturers name, model number etc. In some cases it is just orifices that need to be replaced. In other cases it is gas valves and burners. It depends on the manufacturer. The most important thing is that you get a new rating plate for the appliance listing propane as the approved fuel for use from the manufacturer. If you do not do this, and there is any fire or injury from this appliance, the manufacturer will take no responsibility because you have "altered" the appliance without their approval. I have seen insurance companies deny claims for this very reason! Good luck with it!

Does my Maytag Neptune gas dryer need a conversion kit to go from natural gas to propane?

Asked by Davd B - Mon Aug 6 00:38:48 2007 - - 3 Answers - 1 Comments
A. The straight answer is Yes , it will need to be converted. Once you get out to your rural location, get out the yellow pages and start going through all the propane companies. Don t just stop with the one that has the best price per gallon. Usually the best price per gallon comes at the expense of not having qualified service technicians that can convert your appliances. To ensure its done correct have the propane company order and install the kit, they may even give you a discount as a new customer. A dryer conversion is not a job the average homeowner should take on, it s a bit more involved than just changing an orifice.

A. yes it is legal to use flexible cpr pipe in the US but, the term is not flexible, its commonly known as soft copper, flex is used at the appliances, and is usually about 2' or less to meet with your shutoff valve. if you have a well traveled area between the garage and the home, bury it at least 18" and to take it a distance further, I would probably use black pipe 1/2" and just use flex once I've entered the building and after the shutoff valve.

Asked by JENNIFER J - Sat Oct 11 10:23:10 2008 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Do you have the instruction manual? If you do, read it and see if it can be converted. There are several reasons why you shouldn't attempt this procedure yourself, the main reason is safety. If the units control valve doesn't have an exchangeable orifice, then it is not possible. Manufacturers are very sensitive to lawsuits, so most do not have interchangeable control valves. If you do have a convertable unit, my suggestion would be to call a licensed plumber that is knowledgable in this type of repair. He will know how to perform this operation, and his insurance would cover any mishap that occured. If you do it, and there is an explosion, your insurance would deny the claim, once they found out you performed the switch. Good luck! [cont.]

Just because he might own the ice box in the housing he has provided for you to rent doesn't mean he can come in and use your food for his own purposes.

Now we are wanting to purchase a two story house and were wondering how much does it generally cost to convert a house from electric to propane? I know there are lots of variables and was wondering the high cost and low cost. What rules and regulations are there to having a propane tank on the property? The house we are most likely going to purchase is kind of a 1.5 story, imagine a right triangle shaped house instead of a square. There is no basement,… [cont.]

A. I would guess this would be a big change and, don't think it's advisable. It would include changing the kitchen range, the water heater, the furnace, virtually all elements that use electric, would have to be changed. It just wouldn't be viable.

A. Only if you have installed the proper PROPANE jets in it , If not with the unit , they may be available fronm the Manufacturer . this needs to be installed by a professional gas person. We get it done by our gas supplier service dept. Do not hook up to propane , until this has been done as it is extremely dangrous.!!!

How do I go around setting up a Gas Dryer?
Q. Just got a 220v Dryer but it draws too much energy so I have decided I should go with a Gas Dryer instead. Can I use a simple Gas tank to give it gas/propane? any idea how much use they can get from a small tank? Thanks.

A. Here a small tank cost $20.00. If you are talking about the size you put on a cooking grill. You might get 2 weeks. If it is just you, more. The dryer should be adjusted for the propane.
