I'm pretty challenged with household electrics etc and really need help here. HOW to make a gas dryer work with an electrical gas dryer connection- any adaptor/coverter/switches that could be used?
any advise at all is appreciated. thanks!

As most of the other responders have said, you cannot use a gas dryer without a gas hookup. The internal workings of a gas dryer are completely different from an electric dryer in respect to the provision of heat. You cannot convert a gas dryer into an electric dryer.
You must either have a gas line run to the dryer or you need an electric dryer. If there is no gas supplied to the building it would be too costly to do so. You would be better off buying a new or used electric dryer and sell or trade the gas dryer.

NO WAY. Your dryer plugs into a 110 outlet, which just powers the blower and rotates the drum. You can fluff dry everything, but won't get any heat. You need to see if there is a nearby gas line you can connect to, or otherwise get rid of the gas dryer and buy an electric one. Be prepared for higher electric bills.

Well you have to have a gas connection to hook up a gas dryer. I have never heard of a (electrical gas dryer connection)

The only way to make it work it to get a new one unless you can add a gas line for your stove (which would probably cost more than a new stove)

Unless you have a gas connection to your house, there's no way.
Even if you did, it would probably be cheaper to buy a new
electric and sell / store the gas one

you need a gas line and 120 vac receptacle, you may be able to branch from a gas range but there probably isn't a gas range is there?

I could be wrong. But I don't think there is anyway to do it
