Determine the make and model of your dryer. You want to make sure you
get the correct conversion kit for your dryer. Get one that is
specifically for your dryer, not a universal kit.
Buy a conversion kit for your dryer. You will probably find one at a local
hardware store
.You can also find them online.
It is probably advantageous to buy it locally because the dealer has
experience installing these and can be a great asset. The kit will
probably come in an envelope and will be marked something to the effect
of “Conversion Kit Nat. Gas to L.P. Gas for XXXX series dryers”.
1)Shut off the gas supply to the dryer and make sure the power cord is unplugged.
2)Access the gas controls assembly in the dryer. This will be different
for different brands of dryers. The instructions with the conversion
kit should tell you exactly how to do this for your dryer.
3)Turn on the gas supply and check for leaks using a liquid soap solution and / or a leak tester.
4)Activate
the dryer gas valve. Check to make sure the manifold pressure is
correct and if not, adjust the regulator setting. Again, check for
leaks.
5)Adjust the main burner flame as directed in the instructions with your gas conversion kit.
