I need an appliance repair person

[phylodog]

We purchased a new washer and dryer. I decided to go with propane rather than electric and unfortunately all gas appliance ship ready for natural gas. I have the factory kit to convert it over and the install is way outside of my comfort range.

I’m hoping we have a member who performs this type of work or maybe a member knows someone they could recommend?

Isn't it basically just changing gas orifices/burners, a lot like converting a grill between propane and NG?

Yes, and if I remember right you flip a piece in the regulator.

YouTube may be your friend?

What I was about to say. Definitely for the general idea, and might even be able to find that exact dryer. Should be a pretty easy job.

Your propane supplier should be able to help you.

I think the key with YouTube is to look for the ones with the highest views. Thinking I am not going to go with the one that had 6 views lol

If you don't find anyone on here, I have heard good things about Wilmot Appliance Service out of Arcadia.

I've heard Ace is the place with your helpful hardware man...

I've never done a conversion, but I've replaced burner assemblies (and electric elements) before, not difficult. Took me less than 2 hours to disassemble/replace/reassemble.

This short 6 minute vid does a good job showing how in detail.



I fall else fails, PM me and I could do it for you.

Thank you. Wilmot was recommended by a neighbor and he came out today and installed the conversion for us. Very pleased with his service if anyone else finds themselves in need of an appliance repair.

Appreciate the help folks.
