Many people ask us a question about converting gas in their Dryer Kenmore 75132 7.0. Answer is - yes, you can. Today we will speak about converting.
Assuming the dryer doesn’t have a standing pilot, you will need to install a larger opening orifice to get the equivalent btu's from the natural gas but if you cannot get a regulator kit to go back to natural gas, you must install an external regulator set for Natural gas for proper and safe operation.
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).
If you want to know propane your dryer or natural gas, check this. 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.
Why do most people want to change propane? Gas dryers use about 15-25 gallons of propane per year. With the small amount of propane needed, the price per gallon is more expensive. If you need help with converting, don’t hesitate to contact our customer support and arrange a meeting!
