WHY CANT THIS BE USED ON A GAS DRYER

exhaust from gas dryer may have some fumes and this would be a carbon monoxide problem!
1979856
Gas dryers vent both the wet air and combustion gas through the same vent line. In this case, returning the vent air to the home would also return the combustion gas. This can only be used on electric dryers since there is no combustion gas from those units.

Same reason you don't want to leave your car running in the garage or use a propane heater inside the house. . . CO (carbon MONoxide) builds up and can kill you. You're not just venting hot air. With a gas dryer, you're venting the "exhaust" left over from burning gas.

Well it can since all it does is hook up to the vent hose that goes to outside or in my case I have to vent my dryer inside cause I am in an apartment so this is suited for a house where the dryer is in the basement or a laundry room but u can use it for either gas or electric it will work for either one of them.

Scott the reason this cannot be used on a gas dryer is because the oxygen has been consumed and turned into carbon dioxide where in electric dryer the oxygen has just been heated up. Do not use this on a gas dryer for no reason.

Strange people say you can't use this on a gas dryer vented into the house. I guess putting your turkey in a natural gas or propane oven for 3.5 hours doesn't do the same thing? Ovens are not vented to the outside either. Brother-in-law has theirs vented for years into the laundry room with a Carbon Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide tester and they have never gone off. Just don't do 10 loads of laundry in a row, or keep the door closed to the laundry room.

Don't use it on a gas dryer. The exhaust contains byproducts from the burning of gas, including the possibility of higher carbon dioxide and, possibly, carbon monoxide (the "silent killer"). Only vent a gas dryer to the outside.

I think its a result of the machining process to build the pan. Not a problem for a gas stove, but the reduced contact area makes it very troublesome to use with a flat surface electric. I returned two of these that had this same issue and bought an alternative pan.

Not sure, but I don't think it meets code. I had to beg to Ge the best buy guys to install my dryer with it. They are afraid of liability if you should allow it to become depleted of water and use the dryer.., there may be a fire

I don't see why not as long as it is not the type that has the larger hole for inflating with a blow dryer

Don't think you can use it IN the gas oven. It's only for use ON a gas range.

No and if you find a dryer with one it's a lie. It chemistry. You can't turn it off.

I don't see why not though I have not used it for that. It is made of quality stainless steel, and is sturdy. It isn't large so the element size would determine that if for gas stove ... otherwise carefully watching it of course ... It is a great piece for my kitchen! I use it often.

I don't believe it is. If you do get this dryer, just know if your using it and stop, it may not restart right away. You'll have to let it cool down, blow into it, you'll hear the over-heat switch click, then it will work. A bit annoying!

I am sure you COULD, but I wouldn't. I am no electrician, but I believe that if your dryer does not have the third wire, this device will not provide the protection that it is designed to provide. It would be a waste of money.

Sorry but no. Because a dryer needs a lot of power, it has a different style of plug. This extension can carry a maximun of 20 Amps, your dryer needs 30 Amps. and uses a large "crowsfoot" plug.

I believe this hose is not rated for gas washer. (I do recall reading somewhere not intended for gas washer).

Yes it can be used on gas and electric. I believe it could be used on a gas or charcoal grill. It would stop the food from falling through the grids. Also it works great. I use it on elect. with shrimp skewers and steak.

I really don't know. I have a gas range. If you take into consideration that we use cast iron pans on gas as well as electric - well, I think it would be worth try with VERY CAREFUL monitoring!!!! Or contact the manufacturer and see what they have to say.Good luck

I would not. It 'fried' a hair-dryer of mine and I don't think it's worth the risk. I've had other converters in the past that were considerably larger and more expensive with which I never had any problems.

I wouldn't think for the dryer because the plug is a different configuration and the wire is a larger gauge. Possibly could use for the washer but i wouldn't.

Yes, you can use it for a clothes dryer, a gas stove and many more gas devices.

That is what this is meant for using it for. As long as the old gas is still liquid with no sticky consistency it works great! I found this unit does a wonderful job and is safe to use also...
