What you are probably hearing is the flame, it is normal for the burner to make a whooshing noise while it is on. If the dryer is making a squeaking noise then it probably needs a belt or bearings.

What is a 30A dryer cord?

A 30 amp dryer cord is the cord that comes attached to new clothes dryer. It is used to transfer the voltage from the wall receptacle to the dryer appliance. Earlier model dryers used to be hard wired directly from the distribution panel to the dryer. Hard wiring is no longer the case as people wanted to take there appliances with them when they moved from one home to another. New homes are now wired with 30 amp receptacles situated in the wall alcove where the dryer is to be situated. This allows the home owner to plug in the dryer without the hiring of an electrician to legally make the connection. Dryers that have been previously been hard wired can be upgraded with a 30 amp cord kit that can be purchased at any hardware store. Following the instructions included with the kits, any home owner can make the conversion and then connect their dryer into the dryer receptacle.


Does a clothes iron generate enough heat to activate heat-shrink tubing?

IT probably would but you would have to make direct contact which might cause the heat-shrink to shrink unevenly or get flattened. It is usually better to blow hot air at it while you rotate it. A good hair dryer might work equally well. ------ Neither a hair dryer, nor a clothes dryer will work for shrinking most conventional heat shrink tubing. The most common types: PVC and Polyolefin require temperatures of greater than 100C (the boiling point of water). A clothes iron will; however you'll melt the tubing with direct contact, and it will mess up your iron. If you don't own a heat gun, you'll be fine using a cigarette lighter.

How do you switch a gas dryer to an electric?

no, unless you can find a gas powered generator to make your electricity, then yes. No!! In the electric dryer there is a heating element ... for a gas dryer there is a heating box where a gas flame has to exist in order to heat sufficiently for the clothes to dry. Configuring an electric dryer to gas is impractical, and simply an unwise thing to even attempt. The conversion process would cost more than just going out and purchaseing a gas dryer.


Is an adapter to go from a 3 prong dryer outlet to a 4 prong dryer cord available for purchase?

I would not recommend trying to use an extension cord for a dryer. the better option is to either buy a longer cord that is properly sized to deal with the extra distance or have an electrician come out and either move the outlet or custom make you a longer cord for your dryer.
