The '''Gas Dryers''' work by tumbling the clothing  and blowing air through the drum. The drum has baffles protruding into the drum to keep the clothes from bunching up. The length of time the  dryer runs and the air temperature are elements of  the various drying cycles.
 
 
A motor turns the clothes drum and also turns a fan  (called the blower). The air flow from the blower passes over a heating  element (in an electric dryer) or through a gas jet (in a gas dryer). The air then passes through the drum and out the back of the dryer  through ducts to the vent which is typically located outdoors.
 
 
The Gas Dryers use a burner assembly which is comprised of a control  valve with 1 or 2 solenoids (also called coils), a gas jet, an igniter  and a sensor. When the dryer is started, the igniter heats up, when the  sensor detects the heat, it signals the solenoid on the control valve to  open and release the gas which is then lit by the glowing hot igniter.  The igniter turns off but the gas jet remains open. The burning jet of  gas keeps the sensor warm which keeps the gas valve open, until the  thermostat signals the control valve to stop the flow of gas.
 
 
The dryer cannot operate until the door switch signals that the door  is closed. The start button must then be pressed to enable the timer  control. The timer control either regulates the length of time the dryer  runs or it works in conjunction with a moisture sensor that measures  the water vapor in the drum to determine when the clothes have dried.
 
 
The temperature selector controls the maximum temperature inside the  drum with the aid of thermostats. The heat turns on and off as needed to  maintain the temperature.
 
 
When the timed cycle ends, or the moisture sensor determines the  clothes are dry, the drying cycle ends and typically a buzzer sounds to  signal that the cycle has ended.
 
 
Some dryers have a wrinkle prevention feature that will tumble the dryer every few minutes to prevent wrinkles from setting in.
