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 :)


How do i run a clothes dryer to a fuse box i don't know anything about the fuse box but i do have an electric stove i think with a 3or 4 prong plung.?

It's important to first check the electrical requirements for the clothes dryer and compare them to the fuse box capacity. If both the electric stove and clothes dryer require a similar voltage and amperage, you may need to hire a professional to install a new dedicated circuit for the dryer. Avoid overloading the existing circuits without proper guidance as it can be a safety hazard.
