Dryer LP Conversion Kit part 49572A How To Replace

You have to get the conversion kit. Mostly the burner gas nozzels has to be changed. Propane has a higher BTU value than natural gas. So the burner nozzle has to be smaller with propane.

You have to have the right nozzle kit for your dryer. Normally the propane nozzle kit comes with the new dryer. It is attached in a plastic seethrough bag and attached somewhere in the back of dryer.

Also you have to adjust the air opening in the burner for propane. Propane need more air than natural gas to burn properly. If you buy the conversion kit or find the conversion kit in the back of your unit, it will clearly give instructions how to do it.

Hello MacMarkus i need the same can you help me please!! this is my email, [email protected]

Determine the make and model of your dryer. You want to make sure you get the correct conversion kit for your dryer. Get one that is specifically for your dryer, not a universal kit.
Buy a conversion kit for your dryer. You will probably find one at a local hardware store .You can also find them online. It is probably advantageous to buy it locally because the dealer has experience installing these and can be a great asset. The kit will probably come in an envelope and will be marked something to the effect of “Conversion Kit Nat. Gas to L.P. Gas for XXXX series dryers”.

1)Shut off the gas supply to the dryer and make sure the power cord is unplugged.
2)Access the gas controls assembly in the dryer. This will be different for different brands of dryers. The instructions with the conversion kit should tell you exactly how to do this for your dryer.
3)Turn on the gas supply and check for leaks using a liquid soap solution and / or a leak tester.
4)Activate the dryer gas valve. Check to make sure the manifold pressure is correct and if not, adjust the regulator setting. Again, check for leaks.
5)Adjust the main burner flame as directed in the instructions with your gas conversion kit.

call your lp provider as they often will send out a tech to do this conversion for free. after all you will be buying the gas from them.

Typically, conversion from natural to propane and visa-versa is just a simple connection behind the appliance. Look in the box of the conversion kit (or on the back of the packaging,) and you should see the conversion instructions. Since you are dealing with gas, you need to make sure the shut-off valve is... shut off so no gas can leak while do the exchange. Also, make sure there are not open flames anywhere near the work area. Take your time and follow the directions...

You can get the conversion kit. It will tell you how to convert the dryer. I recommend that you get a technician to do it though.

You need to change the orifice on the end of the gas valve and flip the cap on the regulator to the LP side. Model number would help.....?

You'll need a conversion kit for your model. Get your model number (inside door) and contact a parts place, local or online. It usually consists of an orifice & possibly a pressure regulator.
