“I just purchased this gas dryer and had it converted to LP. I tested it this weekend for about 25-30 mins and there was a VERY strong gas odor. Is that normal? Does it go away over time?”

Hi - Thank you for reaching out to us. During initial use of a new dryer, you may notice an odor that has an oily or burning smell. This odor is considered normal and may be emitted as the natural oils deposited from human hands during product assembly or dust accumulated on various mechanical parts burns off during initial operation. To eliminate this problem odor, run your empty dryer for 20 minutes. That said, there should not be a strong gas odor present. If you continue to have difficulty, we recommend calling GE Appliances service at 1-800-432-2737 to schedule an appointment to have the dryer checked. We hope this helps. Kind regards - Vikki@GEA
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Did you use the gas sealing tape? It’s yellow not the white one for natural gas. I would double check that it’s threaded on right and the connections are tight.
