Hello there
Different types of gas dryers are made for natural gas and propane.
If you are moving the dryer from a house with natural gas, you will
have to convert it for propane use.
Here is a set of instructions you may have for a fee. This manual
gives you the tools and instructions for such a conversion.

According to this site - "A natural gas dryer can be converted to a
propane gas dryer, but a kit is required at an additional cost above
the dryer purchase." I don't know what make of dryer you have but
here are some of the natural to propane conversion kits by maker:
Maytag dryer natural gas to propane conversion kit - part# 306195
GE dryer natural gas to propane conversion kit - part# WE25M35
Frigidaire new dryer natural gas to propane conversion kit - part#
131776600.

If your dryer is a "Kenmore" then you will have to find out just who
made it. In fact, any department stores brands can be a pain as it is
difficult to figure out which manufacture has made your product.
For Kenmore products, the first three digits of the model number
determine who built it such as: GE begins with 262 - 263, Tappan 791,
etc, etc.. Here is a list of those numbers:

list also.
So depending on your brand, you may want to check with your dealer who
can probably order a conversion kit for you if they don't already have
one in stock. A natural gas model dryer can be converted for propane.
Good luck with your move.
