    Can I reconvert a gas dryer BACK to natural from LP?
    I have a Maytag gas dryer that was converted to L.P. Gas. How do I convert it BACK to natural gas? It is Model LDG482. I printed a whole bunch of owner's manuals from the Maytag site but none are my specific model and none explain how to convert.

    It would be a better idea to contact Sears and have them send out a Repair Tech to do the conversion.

    There are far too many things that could go wrong if the conversion isn't done properly.

    Realistically, we're only talking about regulators and orifices, but still, failing to seat a new orifice correctly or pressure testing a regulator installation could be very disastrous.

    I've been doing this for over 20 years, and even I call in the pro's when it comes to these conversions.
