Whirlpool W11581317 Lp Gas Conversion Kit OEM Part

I'm not an appliance mechanic and have never worked on a dryer before, but I have worked as an instrument technician and lightly dabbled in HVAC repairs. We moved from natural gas to a new home with propane, so purchased this kit to make the conversion. In my mind I thought it would be fairly quick and easy, change a few fittings, etc, but realized upon reading the instructions that I needed to disassemble most of the dryer. The work was straightforward but since this was my first time taking apart the dryer I went slow and methodical. I was also nervous about leaks so made sure to take my time. Took about 2-2.5 hours but everything went back together smooth and we have been using the dryer for about a month on propane with no problems.

I ordered the conversion kit from Appliance Parts pros on Monday the part arrived on Friday. On Saturday morning i read all the directions. I removed the front kick panel and inspected everything while looking at the diagrams. seemed easy enough. after careful inspection i thought i would try this without taking apart the the top and drum. (mine sits on the drawer pedestals) the DIY God were smiling on me. i was able to replace the two parts with ease. plugged it in turned it on and sat back to watch the flames. all went well and the dryer works great.

Simple process about 1.5 hours to complete took my time. All works good!

Contacted customer service because the "Does this part fit my..." didn't recognize the model number. The operator verified the part was correct and would fit my new dryer. I ordered the part expected it to take a week and a half. I left for the weekend and found the delivery on my porch on Sunday morning 2 days after I ordered it.. Good delivery service. Don't forget to use a putty blade for the latches under the lid of the dryer

This is the second I have ever done and it took a little longer because of where it sat in my front loader. Just take your time and it will be fine. Make sure to always turn off your gas while working.
