This isn't worth the risk. You are creating the potential for all kinds of problems, everything from moisture issues to dust and dirt in the house. This is a really bad idea

Yes a humidifier would probably remove the humidity, but in most states I believe it is against code to vent a dryer in the house. This is for obvious reasons. The most obvious being the possiblility of venting co2 into the house from burned gas and the possibility of venting unburned gas into the house. Good luck.

particular a humidifier could in all possibility get rid of the humidity, yet in maximum states i've got confidence that's against code to vent a dryer interior the domicile. that's for glaring motives. the main glaring being the possiblility of venting co2 into the domicile from burned gas and the possibility of venting unburned gas into the domicile. solid success.

no...what is happening is that you are creating moisture in the house and a dehumidifier will take out some of the moisture....the moisture that is not removed will create mold in your house...you are better to vent the dryer outside of your house....home depot has an easy do-it-yourself kit and it is inexpensive...about $20....so for $20 save yourself that enormous cost of having mold remove from your home....plus if you have a gas dryer you are also saving your family from the carbon monoxide poisoning that can happen

That's just something that you want to do on a multiple level of reasons why ranging from mold issues to fire hazards. Vent it outside.

Why would you want to do that? You are just asking for trouble. Take it from someone who has had a humidity/mold problem-vent outside!

Yes, it will.
Gas dryers must be vented outside.
You must also put a good lint trap on aswell.

Any savings you will make in heating bills will be absorbed in your dehumidifier costs. You are not the first to think of this and the others have given it up as a lost cause.

All the answers are good. But also think of the extra expense running your AC this summer.

Don't. You won't believe how much mold and lint dust you will have to deal with.
