@Rista1313 should definitely take a bow. She asked a SMART question. You can see her question just above. As some of you may recall, I responded that I was not qualified to answer. Later in the thread I pointed out that I knew how to turn the gas off for the entire house(implied was that I did not how to turn the gas off for just the laundry room.)
Sure enough, yesterday's installers turned off the gas....hooked up the new dryer...made it run....fooled me into thinking all was well.....but yesterday's knuckleheads never turned the gas back to the on position.
So now the dryer works fine.
I have been taught how to do the laundry room gas on / off myself if it is ever needed. Not hard!
I can return the 5 foot gas line kit back to Home Depot for a refund.
What an unnecessary waste of time the last 24 hours have been!
