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.

For a gas dryer in the US you will need a 120 volt outlet to plug into. The old electric dryer was 220 volts so that outlet cannot be used as it is currently. Second, you will need to have a gas line run to the site of the new dryer. That should be it.


Does dryer need to be gas if stove is gas?

no, they are not connected however if gas is an option it is usually cheaper and most electric dryers require a special high voltage outlet. if you do not already have one installed it maybe best to go with the gas you have to weigh out the prices of installation. ie moving gas line if needed, installing 240v outlet (most cities require permit and licensed electricians $$$), and price of buying proper dryer good luck :)
