It may be a Snorge, but it'll never die.  

My mom's gas model, which was a little newer, I think tried to kill us all with CO.  It stunk like a bus station for a number of years before it was replaced.

The gas ignition made a strange hollow rattling sound like a pencil was bouncing around in the blower or something -- which was normal -- and after it had issues with that and was repaired, it created a static condition on the TV whenever the flame was lit.

The electric version should be less annoying and non toxic.

Tom, I said the following about these dryers before.  I had no real appreciation for our dryer until it was pointed out here that the gas version had the modulating burner like on the LK Soft Heat.  All I saw was that it was most likely the matching TOL dryer to our Dispense-o-Mat washer and it had no temperature options other than heat and air.   Particularly after I saw one of my best friends from high school's family had a model or two below this that had 4 or 5 temperature button options that were air, low, medium, and high.  There were so many times I'd be in the laundry room (watching the Norge or later the Kenmore 800) while a load was being dried in the dryer (and when I was doing the wash, I always used the auto dry cycles).  And while watching the washer, I'd hear the noise like the gas burner was coming back on again, but the gas had never turned off during this initial heating.  And when I'd hear that noise I'd lift the lid and look in at the burner and see if it looked any different.  So I'd study what the burner looked like at the beginning of the cycle, but still couldn't see any difference in the flame after that noise.  WE never had to replace the gasket in the 14 years we had the dryer.  I particularly liked the 3 position hamper door and I judged every other dryer brand with full-width hamper door design. Our stop 'n' dry control was a slide lever on the control panel that mirrored the water level slider on the washer control panel. Also note on this Wards dryer it has the designation of a 16 pound capacity.   After about 5 or 6 years, the safety stop door switched pretty much stuck "in".  which didn't bother me, I always used fluff to keep clothes tumbling while I hung up each garment.  And I'd open the door to that first position and garments would come billowing out to the door edge and I'd just pull one or two off and hang them up.  and blame this dryer for me always no-heat tumble after the load has dried and I have to hang things up.
