- Smell gas? Leave the house, do not use switches, and call ATCO Gas emergency at 1-800-511-3447.

- Clean the lint screen and confirm the outside vent flap opens.
Unplug the dryer before you touch anything inside it. Leave panels, wiring and gas parts to a technician.
What usually causes it
Common causes we find
Igniter
The igniter heats until it glows to light the gas. They are fragile and wear out over time. A failed igniter means no glow and no heat.
Gas valve solenoid coils
A classic gas dryer fault: the igniter glows, then shuts off, but the gas never lights. Weak coils often work when cold and fail once warm.
Flame sensor
The flame sensor tells the valve when the igniter is hot enough. If it fails, the igniter may glow forever without the gas opening, or never glow at all.
Thermal fuse and thermostats
The same safety parts that cut heat in electric dryers. They protect the house from overheating and usually blow because of a blocked vent.

FAQ
Gas Dryer Repair — FAQ
Do you repair propane dryers?
Yes. Propane dryers use the same ignition system with a different orifice. We repair both natural gas and propane models.
Can you move or install a gas line?
Gas line work must be done by a licensed gas fitter. We repair the dryer itself and will tell you if the supply line needs a fitter.
Is a gas dryer more expensive to repair?
Not usually. Igniters, coils and fuses are common, affordable parts.
