What does a gas dryer plug look like.
If you see a standard plug 115v you have a gas dryer.
Gas dryers have an electric wire plugged into a standard 115v 3 prong outlet runs the motor and timers and a gas connector.
Gas dryers use 110 volt nema 5 20 plugs.
One of the easiest ways to determine whether you have a gas or electric dryer is to look at the plug and outlet.
While a gas dryer uses significantly less energy than an electric dryer you still can t plug its power cord into just any electrical outlet.

Electric dryers run on 220 volts and use either the three prong nema 11 30 or the four prong nema 14 30 plug depending on age.
So the outlet should look pretty typical and there will be a capped off gas line in.

Gas dryers run on electricity to do things like power the lights and turn the drum but they heat with gas.
What does a gas dryer hookup look like.
Gas connectors are either stainless steel or could be coated with yellow substance.
Most homeowners have run into a problem with trying to hook a 3 prong dryer cord up to a 4 prong outlet or vice versa.
This will help prevent any gas leaks that might come from the unused line.
If you have an unused gas line that you want to cap you can do this with the right materials.
This could be a gas line it is in the right place for the dryer and gas lines plug off like that if piped in galvanized pipe.
An electric dryer will have a grounded 240v electrical outlet that will look like the one pictured in the.
Once the line is securely capped you can rest.
Switch between them with a four prong to three prong dryer adapter or the converse a three prong to four prong dryer adapter.
