How to Easily Convert Gas Dryer To Propane

[@gravityisweak]

Clear thorough instructions, good explanations, great video quality, no silly fluff. Truly top notch, well done sir.

[@WordofAdviceTV]

Thank you! 🙏 I appreciate the positive review!

[@MadPlumber-hf7wz]

To the point, excellent instruction/guidance, well done, I would maybe say this is for people with advanced knowledge on gas appliances, I'm sure a novice can learn from also, as soon as I saw location, I was golden. Thank you for the straight forward direction. I hope you didn't get blown up with a million questions from people who have never done conversion, as they shouldn't be attempting this. Thank you

[@juskarn]

The most to the point clear instructional video I've ever seen you should be an educator

I don't know why you don't have more hits!!! You are very GOOD!!! And the jokes are good---thanks Jim

Thank you Jim!! I appreciate the thought! You know, sometimes I wonder if it's because of the jokes... 😅😇

It is a good practice to Lable The unit as converted to L/P Gas. The label is still showing Natural Gas. Many years back worked in the L/P Field as service technician. Your video Is Great and It shows a lot of Great Information. Love that Pretty Blue flame..

[@ForsakenRealmCo]

Good instructions, I'm an appliance repair guy. Just wanted to add that you pulled the gas valve really easy, but sometimes dryers will have a 2 screw bracket thats holding the gas valve pipe down to the floor in the back of the inside of the machine that you will have to remove before performing that action.

[@WordofAdviceTV]

Thank you for pointing that out! That's good to know.

[@nvb195]

You sir are a legend! Just did this. I will say.. I mounted the front back on and misaligned the face and the drum wouldn’t spin.. so worth checking you aligned it correctly.. I’m not a smart Manx

Excellent! This is great for the off-grid community too! I follow a few of those types of channels. I will recommend this video to them. Thank you Jay! Have a great weekend! 😂🤣 Love the jokes!

[@WordofAdviceTV]

Thank you! Yes, off-grid folks often have everything in propane so converting things is probably nothing new to them. May you have a wonderful rest of the weekend as well!! Good to know that some of my audience actually enjoys the dad jokes at the end too. 😄😇

Hello 👋 Hello 👋 good buddy Jay my number one best friend good to see you my friend I was just thinking about you earlier and now I got to see your new video. I just did the same thing probably a month ago at my brother's house he bought a new gas dryer and it was for natural gas and I had to change the orfices and convert it to propane gas. When he got his at Lowes it didn't have them with it even though the directions said so ..he went back to Lowes and they gave it to him..that's a very good video for people who want to learn how to do it good buddy...I hope you all are doing well and enjoying life to the fullest 😊..it's beautiful 😍 weather here I've been mowing it grows so fast this time of year here..tell everyone I said hello 👋 good buddy and give them a hug for me I love you all like family 👪 😊 Jay. Today I'm working on a windmill project I've had it for 20 plus years it is just for looks but anyway the fan blades have all broken off and I am making new blades and a fan for it. I got my welder going earlier and got it all made up just got to paint it now..I like trying to stay busy it is the best medicine for your brain . Take care buddy and God bless you my dear friend and God bless 🙌 your family 👪 🙏 ❤️ jay...good to see you this made my day ❤️ 😊.

[@WordofAdviceTV]

Aloha 🤙 aloha 🤙 my friend!! What a coincidence that you just converted a gas dryer as well! We both did the job for our siblings too. 😄 Life is going great, no big changes here, still seeking the Lord and learning a lot of new things. Glad to hear that the weather on your side of the world has been beautiful! That always lifts the spirit doesn't it? Fast growing grass is a small price to pay. I'll pass on the greetings and the hugs! 🙂 The windmill project sounds fun! What if you build some cool things like this and sell them on Craigslist? Not as much for the money as to bring people joy and do something you enjoy doing. I hope you are staying healthy over there, may God abundantly bless you as well my friend!! I pray for you , that the Lord will do His good work in you and give you a peace and joy that only He can give. 🕊♥🙏☝

@@WordofAdviceTV thank you so much Jay for your friendship and your prayers 🙏 I really appreciate it good buddy. I know one thing for certain the good lord 🙏 sure did bless me with a good friend in you Jay..even though we have never met I just have a strong connection with you buddy probably more stronger than most people who I do know and have in my life I don't have many people in my everyday life though and I could count them on my hands what I do but your friendship makes up for it because I'm a rich ol man in knowing you buddy..I got the windmill fixed and I got my car out of the garage and cleaned it up some but it wasn't really dirty but I did do some cleaning on the motor I inherited it from my great uncle when he passed away back in ninety six. I've had it since ninety seven but it doesn't seem that long ago really I have always liked older model cadillacs and have had some older and newer before this one is a nineteen and seventy eight coupe Deville it's a seamist green with a dark green half vinyl top I need to really drive it some especially like Sundays or so because like it is now it's not going to do me any good I'll have to email you a picture of it Jay 😊..maybe if I can get a halfway good enough selfie I'll include my ol silver hair too. Lol..I wouldn't want to break my phone camera on me though..yes sir you are very correct beautiful weather does lift the spirits but I'm still in deep pain over my Arnold and Bigfoot it's so hard 😢 💔..

[@WordofAdviceTV]

@@davidmckinney6577 I'm happy I can be here for you my friend!! I haven't really done anything to warrant such appreciation from you but I praise the Lord that I can be a person who is able to be uplifting and encouraging to you. Oh wow, that didn't take you very long. You got that windmill done in record time! I actually just cleaned and vacuumed our car today too. You should definitely take the Cadillac out for a spin every once in a while. Good for you and the car both right? 😄😎 I saw my neighbor drive out on his Corvette today. First time I saw it out of the garage in about a year and a half. I'm sure he enjoyed the ride! Sure thing though, if you get around to it email me a picture of your Cadillac. 👍👍 David, I never asked you this before but how old are you good sir? I talk to you casually as a friend but you are many years my senior. I hope you don't find my way of conversation offensive at times. Talking to people virtually has that effect.. I figured you are still very upset about Bigfoot and Arnold but thought it'd be best if I don't bring them up and cause the pain to resurface.. They say time heals so hopefully with time, the negative feelings will subside.. God bless you my friend! Never forget that God is always near and you can talk to Him the same as you would to a person standing in front of you. He knows you inside and out, better than you know yourself. Sharing grief, feelings, and sorrow with your Creator is a very calming and healing thing. I would encourage you to talk to Him on a daily basis. Religion is okay but relationship is the real deal.

[@alanmohlman3530]

Many thanks Jay - I read the included instructions for the conversion and thought, 'no problem I can do that'', however like you I don't like taking wires apart. Your video was awesome and to the point. I have a GE and it was very similar -the most problematic was get the darn cabinet back together, but mission accomplished. thanks again!!!!!

I agree. In Minnesota we never used these conversion kits but here in Hawaii they have no natural gas at all so it's a common occurrence.

[@nickreed1367]

thank you for all of your videos! Ive learned alot the last week trying to troubleshoot my AC unit not turning on but my furnace turns on. I turn on the AC and manually push the plunger in and the ac fan turns on, but wont stay on the second i depress the plunger. Theres no volatge coming in to the contactor coils. I did use sandpaper to the contactors too. The coil is not rusty and neither is the capacitor or mushroomed. When everything is on, theres 240v coming into the contactor bottom 2 terminals, and theres 240v coming into the bottom left and top left terminals, but no power coming into the bottom right and top right terminals. I checked ohms on the coils and its 17ohms. Thermostat wires are drawing all the power it needs, but the issue is when i check the control board, theres enough voltage being drawn from all other terminals except when i check the voltage from R-Y it shows .44volts (and weirdly, when i pull the fuse in the outside disconnect box but turn on the thermostat to on AC, the R-Y terminals read 28v). Checked the voltage at the splice atop my furnace for thermostat wires and they read 28v. The only thing i can think of is theres a bad thermo wire somewhere between the control board and the ac unit. I inspected the wires outside, and nothing seems chewed, and i also pulled the wire nuts off and checked for continuity and they are beeping, but the only one not beeping is the white common wire spliced with the yellow high pressure switch wire i believe. theres also 17 ohms between the two contactor coils as well. I checked the power at the service disconnext at the outside unit and theres 240v coming in, but i noticed the bottom right contact is loose and when i check the bottom right and top left contacts, it only reads 50v. the bottom left and top right reads 120v. Can you please fill me in on where to look next and figure out why im not getting any power to the coils?

You mistakenly said spin this wheel into the 'natural gas' position at 6:06. Otherwise, it is clear you are moving it into the LPG position from the previous NG position.

[@Jim-Wade]

Some states require a label to be put on the appliance showing when it was converted to LPG.

[@philm5082]

Great information!!

[@claytonfite3197]

I knew there was a difference in the orifices. Most of my appliances use natural gas or Electric. My RV camper has propane gas for the furnace, hot water, oven stove, and refrigerator. The water heater and refrigerator can also run on electricity. This is a good video explaining the difference between the two gases. So the orifice is smaller than the natural gas orifice. Now I know the difference. Lol. Awesome jokes my friend🤣

[@WordofAdviceTV]

Glad to hear that the video cleared up the orifice question for you! And as a bonus, you even liked the jokes! 😄 Thank you for stopping by good sir, may you have a marvelous rest of your weekend! God bless you and yours!

[@lnk4328]

Not only does propane typically operate at a higher pressure, the main reason for the smaller orifice is that natural gas is around 1,000 BTU per cubic foot whereas propane is 2,500.

[@MitchVlach]

Hey, thank you for the informative video btw! I did have a question as well. What are the other two parts of the conversion kit for. You showed the LP Orpheus but there are two more pieces. Are they just not needed in a LP conversion?

[@Onsanio]

Now I know that gas and propane dryers are an actual thing

[@WordofAdviceTV]

Happy to introduce you to them! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by for the video, have a great rest of the weekend!

[@dieselgopher27]

I believe the LP conversation kit restricts the flow of gas not because of pressure, but because LP burns hotter. Natural gas isn't as refined so you need more volume of NG compared to clean LP.

[@lembrashear7855]

Does the propane tank need a regulator valve on it? Very good video, thank you

[@maryjames7581]

After replacing the orifice, does the valve that let's the gas flow need to be opened more? It was screwed all the way down?

[@melissajones4400]

I just bought a house where a gas dryer was left at the home. The property has never had natural gas and the appliances ran off of bbq tanks of propane. I am assuming the dryer already has this conversion that you cover in this video, but odd there a way to check and make sure? Thank you.

[@Salama_7]

[@hunt3a842]

Do I need to adjust the air flow baffle?

[@timmackey2896]

Does the propane outlet in the laundry room need a thread plugged tapping upstream. Replacing old GE with new GE LP converted dryer. No thread plugged tapping was in place for 20 years on the old dryer. Was it installed not to code all those years

Thank you! I have tried it in higher torque scenarios and it has survived every time so far but I try not to do that very often since it seems like it will snap one of these times. If you are looking for something heavy duty, their updated angled bit holder is the way to go but it's almost $60. amzn.to/3oWRpDz

[@cudhil8939]

Hello! Just subscribed recently and I have a A/C question for you. My outside unit will turn off before cooling the house down to temp but the blower stays on. Whenever restart the AC at the thermostat, the blower kicks on but the outside compressor/fan will stay off. The only way I can get it to attempt to start up on its own is by disconnecting the thermostat completely and rebooting the Vivint security system. Then I’ll go outside and give the fan a little spin to get it to cool. Fuse inside the blower isn’t blown. I haven’t opened up the electrical panel outside to check the capacitor or contactor. But those should be alright since the unit will still start up right? Update: outside fan turns off while compressor is still running and start heating the house. My guess is the compressor will overheat and cut off without the fan. What could cause the fan motor to stop?

[@cudhil8939]

Just curious , what if the other way , propane to natural gas , can I drill the hole bigger instead replacing one ?

FYSA: the smaller orifice for the LP gas has nothing to do with pressure, it is because LP gas has more than twice the BTUs of natural gas so less gas is required for the same amount of burn time.
