I moved to the country and had to convert my dryer to proane. I had to order a conversion kit and the company that provided my propane installed the kit. Now I moved back into the city and need to convert my dryer back to natural gas. How do I do this? Can I do it myself without calling in a perfesional?

Did you save the old orifice? (I think that is the name) They would have changed it when they connected the dryer before. If you call the gas company, or local hardware store, they should be able to help.

You'll need another conversion kit unless you saved the old one. Your knowledge of tools and personal abilities will be the biggest factor in if you can do it yourself. Some nonprofessionals are very good at it, but you'll need to be very careful since it is a gas appliance... you won't want any leaks...

The instructions were probably in the kit. The propane company, I guess, didn't give you back the old parts. Propane burns hotter than natural gas, so the orfices need to be changed. There is probably one for the pilot and one for the main burner.

When doing the conversion, you have to pay attention to cleanliness and you have to be comfy working around natural gas. It will be difficult to heck for leaks, so the best you can do is look at the flames. You will likely have to remove the burner assembly. Use the right tools and don't overtighten things. If a nutdriver is required, use it. Don't use a pair of pliers. Change the label as well.

Some info for your dryer may likely be found on Welcome to the Parts Store (http://www3.sears.com).

Using a dryer that's configured for Natural Gas is a definite no no. Using a dryer configured for propane on natural gas will result in less heat and it may not ignite. Your wise not to use it until the kit is installed.
