I am personally using it with an electric dryer but I see no reason why it wouldn't work for a gas model. It is operated by pressure differential rather than current sensing, it is all metal construction so even if the gas exhaust is hotter it should be OK. The directions say it should be a least 15 feet of duct length away from the dryer anyway. I guess it might draw hotter air into the duct but you should make sure the ducts are well cleaned out when you install it. I'm very satisfied the dryer works faster, runs quieter and we do not get lint accumulating around the duct connection at the back of the machine. You might also check with your dryer manufacturer in case they have any concerns. I am personally using it with an electric dryer but I see no reason why it wouldn't work for a gas model.

Installed one last year, works GREAT!! Make sure you leave enough play to rotate the fan so you can adjust when it turns off. Recommend the auxiliary kit.

You may have to go to Lowes or HD and measure the options. I recommended the rubber couplings since they can expand and shrink a little. You definitely need to use a fernco style coupling for the Fantech. Just type "fernco coupling" in the Amazon search bar and you will see what I'm talking about.

I would not waste my $.. I'm having problems w/ my dryer not heating sometimes.. Plus it don't have a strong fan that blows the air.. I previously had a larger Vidal Sasson dryer it lasted for years.. Not this one I'm totally dissatisfied.

Not certain this item is good for your application. Try to see if Fantech has a fan that has a three inch opening. Also, measure your vent length to determine if this model is the right one for your application. Finally, you may be able to change the vent size. If not there is an adapter piece that fits onto the three inch vent to adapt the opening to accept a four inch vent pipe. Obviously you have several choices ahead of you, good luck.

I have a fridgidaire dryer and it worked fin in that. I would suggest getting a fuse too. I blew mine after I replaced the coil. It's cheap and easy as well, but you might as well do them at the same time.

Three inches is too small to properly vent a dryer. Upgrade to a 4" and see if that solves your problem. If not, the Fantech unit works beautifully with a 4-inch line and is easy to install if one has some skills.

The Fan is set up to be hard wired. You can wire a 3 wire "pigtail" plug on it with no problem. You can get a cord like this at any electrical supply store or home improvement box store like home depot or Lowes. If you want a dryer fan pre-wired and ready to go, you would want to order a DBF 4XL by Fantech

I cannot make a confirmation on that. I do not think that motor is a replacement for your Kenmore/Frigidaire dryer.

No booster is needed. We had to pipe the dryer exhaust up the wall and through a bulkhead to reach outside. The Lint Trap was mounted in the wall just above the control panel of the dryer for accessing easily. It is a great addition.

Probably Not, I have a small portable blow dryer and it is to big. The opening is much smaller than a standard dryer.

The Dryer Drum Glide Kit #5303937139 will fit the Frigidaire FDG648GFS0 Model.

I ordered it for the Babylis Pro BABTT5585 Tourmaline Titanium 3000 Dryer, and it does not fit.

I can not tell you a definite yes, but I took a chance on it fitting my kenmore dryer and it worked out fine for me. I would think that if your dryer has a coil heating element as shown it should work.

Check the wattage demands on the dryer and get a transformer that suppliers an additional 1000 watts... That is, if the dryer requires 2000 watts then this one will do it. If it needs more then get a bigger one. I have two of these and they both work very well for my needs. I use one for power tools I brought from the UK and the other for TV's and Computer equipment I also brought with me.

I am really not sure... but what I did was contact my local appliance parts dealer and ask them to help you determine what parts are needed for repairing your dryer. I just explain it's an inquiry because I may try to repair it myself. They are usually happy to help you out.

Michael, Should work. Look at this link to find a repair guide and parts pictures. http://www.repairclinic.com/PartDetail/Dryer-Igniter/279311/3415?modelNumber=110.77032601&fromRepairHelp=True You should get the thermal fuse as well. They burn out when the lint trap is clogged and the dryer gets to hot. Only ~$3 and free shipping.

Don't know for sure since I don't have that dryer, but it seems to be fairly flexible.
