Dryer has a strong gas smell when operating or immediately after a cycle (gas models).

Safety First: Immediately stop using the dryer. Turn off the gas supply at the shutoff valve, unplug the dryer, ventilate the area, and do not use open flames or switches until the smell dissipates.

• Step 1 – Do not attempt major gas repairs yourself: Gas leaks are hazardous. If you suspect a leak, contact your gas supplier or a qualified technician immediately.
• Step 2 – Check external connections (visual only): With gas off, inspect the flexible gas connector and fittings for obvious damage. Do not overtighten or disassemble unless qualified.
• Step 3 – Verify venting: Ensure the exhaust vent is properly connected and terminates outdoors. Exhaust gases must not vent into the room.
• Step 4 – Professional service: Have a licensed technician perform a leak test on all gas connections and evaluate the gas valve and burner assembly.
