Gas vs Electric Dryers: A Comparison
There are two main types of dryers: gas and electric. At Mr. Appliance® of Louisville, we offer service for both options.
Here are the key differences between gas and electric dryers:
- Electric dryers have a lower upfront cost, but the energy cost may be slightly higher depending on your local rates. They are also easier to install. Additionally, electric dryers tend to produce fewer emissions over time as renewable energy sources replace coal and natural gas.
- Gas dryers operate on natural gas or propane. Although they have a higher upfront cost, they prove more economical in the long run (typically after about five years). However, it's important to note that gas dryers emit more greenhouse gases and pose a carbon monoxide risk.
Choose the dryer that suits your needs and preferences while considering factors such as cost, installation convenience, and environmental impact.

Frequently Asked Questions: Electric Dryer Issues
Why won't my electric dryer start?
There are a few potential causes, such as a tripped circuit breaker, unplugged machine, broken start switch, or faulty thermostat.
What should I do if my electric dryer isn't heating?
This could indicate problems with the fuse, temperature switch, thermostat, or heating coil. Professional repair may be required - trust Mr. Appliance® of Louisville to handle it.
Why is the drum of my electric dryer not turning?
If the motor is running but the drum isn't spinning, it's likely due to a broken belt. However, a faulty roller, motor, or idler pulley could also be to blame.
Are vents necessary for electric dryers?
Nearly all electric dryers require a vent to expel warm air and lint. Most vent outside. However, there are "ventless dryers" that function as hot air vacuums by pulling in room-temperature air and drying clothes using heated air.
How can I determine if my dryer is gas or electric?
If your dryer has only one cord connected - a heavy-duty plug going into a 220V outlet - then it is an electric dryer. If there is an additional thin stainless steel connector along with the electrical wire, you have a gas dryer.
