Gas dryer with a diffuser Great, a 3-in-1 appliance! Now you can dry your clothes, warm up the laundry room and kill yourself all at the same time! YAY! | ||

Would think that diffuser attachment would not be available for gas dryers-Happy CO poisoning! | ||

Gas Dryers and Carbon Monoxide Gas dryers produce a fraction of the CO that gas ovens and cook-tops do and in many places in the world there is no requirement that gas ranges even have an outside vented hood let alone a requirement you actually turn the fan.
In out testing of gas dryers in my fairly small basement shop I have never gotten a reading on our CM detector running a gas dryer unvented in the winter, but a gas oven on the other will quickly give a reading of 35 PPM when you turn on the oven to 350F.
I do believe that gas AND electric dryers should be exhausted outside, probably the greater hazzard is the ultra-fine cotton lint that handling and drying clothing produces which is a carcinogen.
Low amounts of CO enter and leave your body all the time with little or no harm.

long ago
When I first bought my house and was NOT into the washer-dryer hobby, the previous owners left a gas dryer with an indoor water bucket sort of filter attachment. I used it for probably the first five years I lived here with no trouble at all, they used it all 9 years they lived here. Yes you should try to vent for sure, and my house is 1800 sq ft and 100 years old and leaks for sure, but an unvented gas dryer now and then is not a death sentence. Open a door or window for a few minutes in the laundry room. Now that I have 6 dryers installed, yes I vent everything.

Also I see from wiring diagram, this has an ignitor for the gas instead of pilot light, plus an ozone lamp and a panel light. Very fancy! | ||
