Kenmore Dryer Repair – CARROLLTON, OH (110.73942101)

A customer in Carrollton needed their natural gas Kenmore dryer converted to propane but didn’t have the orifice kit. We installed the LP gas conversion kit to complete the fuel conversion safely and properly.

The Problem

The customer needed their natural gas dryer converted to propone but didn’t have the orifice kit required for the conversion.

Diagnosis

Converting a dryer from natural gas to propane requires replacing the gas orifice with one sized for LP gas, which burns at a different pressure than natural gas. The original natural gas orifice needed to be swapped out with the proper LP conversion components.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: 49572A-LP GAS CON (W/ W10390406 — LP gas conversion kit
• Work performed: Installed LP gas conversion kit
• Result: Dryer successfully converted to propane operation

Is It Worth Repairing?

For a Kenmore dryer needing fuel conversion, this is absolutely worth doing if the unit is otherwise functional. Gas dryers typically last 10-13 years, and a fuel conversion extends the appliance’s useful life when you move to a home with different gas service.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Dryers

• Clean the lint filter after every load — clogged filters reduce efficiency and create fire hazards
• Check the exhaust vent annually for lint buildup, especially important with gas dryers
• Have gas connections inspected periodically, particularly after fuel conversions or moves
