In Reply to: Gas Dryers? posted by SJ on March 31, 2012 at 15:39:22:
I've had a propane dryer for nearly 15 years and other than replacing thre wear strips that carry the front of the drum twice over the years, and one of the coils on the solenoid valve last year, it has been very reliable. In other words if you open one up they are a very simply designed machine and because of that maintenance costs, at least on the older ones, aren't all that high. As far as operational costs, my gas pack is currently out of service due to holes in the heater tubes, so the only thing drawing off the tank is the dryer and the stove and oven. The wife and I both use the stove/oven pretty regularly, and with three of us in the house she washes and dryes several loads per week. I think they have added maybe 40-60 gallons to my tank over the past couple of years. I can't say how much goes to one appliance or the other but to operate both for as little as the cost of the gas used tells me it's not that expensive to operate. One good thing about the gas dryer is that even if power goes out during the winter, and your running on a generator, it draws such a small amount of power that you can dry your clothes if you should happen to get wet while outside in the snow, or whatever. If you've got kids that's a really good thing.
