We bought a new gas dryer today and hooked it up. Then my dad put on something called Rectorseal. We turned the gas dryer on to see if it was working but then it started to smell bad.. When i opened it, it smelled horrible and then fumes like in a fire came out.. It turned on the fire alarm but i immediately closed it.. HELP!

Pull the plug, shut off the gas and call the number in the manual for warranty service, however, if the installation was done improperly, they are not liable.

"any innovations how i'm able to slender it down? " verify the incoming voltage to the flame sensor. If that voltage remains there then it is the sensor this is reducing off the gas valve. If that voltage drops out then you definately in simple terms would desire to music it decrease back, making use of the schematic on the panel, to the place you're dropping that voltage. it might additionally be the thermostat on the blower housing which controls working temp or the severe temp cut back on the burner field if no longer the sensor. verify the vent hood on the outdoors is commencing, the hose isn't crushed in the back of the dryer (hassle-free prob.) and that the venting is obvious. whether it is no longer blowing lots air I even have additionally considered the fan plugged up with lint or some thing like a sock that fell down in to the place the filter out is placed. those would reason the overheat with a severe cut back this is working and easily doing it is activity. previous that that's a controversy of monitoring it down. good luck. playstation , $28 isn't lots evaluate maximum restore human beings will charge various cases that throughout the time of any case to knock on the door.

Call the place where you bought it, report the fumes and ask their advice. This is really strange to me. We use electric to avoid the stinky gas things! (FYI Carbon dioxide can be emitted from your dryer). Sorry..Good Luck.

Depends where you live. I'd call PG & E, our natural gas provider, and have them send a serviceman out to look at it.
Champ 2783 has the suggestion I would follow as it isn't worth the risk of burning up your house etc. Pay someone to install it properly.
