Jeff D Rancho Cucamonga , CA March 17, 2014 Appliance: Maytag Gas Dryer MGDE201YW0 Natural gas to propane conversion 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.

Ty G Indio , CA October 06, 2014 Appliance: Model GGW925PT3 I converted my maytag duet front load dryer from natural gas to propane gas 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.

Mark D San Marcos , CA February 09, 2021 Appliance: Model WHIRLPOOL WGD560HW Brand new dryer needed to convert it to propane from natural gas. 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 Read More... 2 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 30-60 minutes Tools: Nut Drivers, Pliers, Screwdrivers, Socket Set
Acacia W Nevada City , CA April 05, 2020 I needed to change it, propane from natural gas. This is the second I have ever done and it took a little longer because of where it sat in my front loader.
