Open the front dryer door to locate the specifications printed inside the door well for the burner. The burner type will be listed as LP if the dryer is designed for propane use. Otherwise, it is a natural gas appliance.

This Gas Dryer Conversion Kit can be used to convert your natural gas dryer to use liquid propane. This is a universal accessory that can be installed across several brands; check to see if your model number is compatible before ordering.

Most gas dryers can be converted for Liquid Propane (LP) gas, which requires an optional conversion kit. Commercial dryers convert the same as retail models. The conversion instructions are included with the LP kit, which is purchased separately if one is needed.

Here are the steps to convert a gas clothes dryer to a propane dryer.

1. Step 1 – Find the Burner Compartment.
2. Step 2 – Look for Gas Control Valve.
3. Step 3 – Remover the Burner from the Gas Clothes Dryer.
4. Step 4 – Replace the Orifice on the Gas Clothes Dryeρr.
5. Step 5 – Turn the Tower Caps Over on the Gas Clothes Dryer.

The cost for service in most areas is often a flat fee of about $130 that covers labor (any part that are needed would be extra).

That range was made for LP and there is no conversion kit.

To convert a gas clothes dryer to propane is really quite easy. You just need to convert the regulator and then replace the orifice. There should be brand-specific instructions included in a conversion kit. You can buy a kit at a local appliance parts store.

In general, no you can’t do this. I suppose it’s possible that the manufacturer uses many of the same parts between their gas and electric models and you could buy enough parts to do a conversion, but this would likely cost more than just buying an electric dryer in the first place.

Propane comes in at a higher pressure than natural gas. The natural gas orifice will let too much propane through and throw a flame large enough to run up the back of your dryer and possibly out the mesh vent into where your clothes are drying (and frying any sensors along the way).
