Combo52, I haven’t hooked mine up to gas yet, and I will have to install the felt seals before I try using it with gas, but I have air fluffed clothes in it and it seems to be pretty quiet in operation. I do hear the gas valve engage when I turn it on, and seems to engage and disengage just fine, but it won’t mean the themalcouple/pilot safety is any good.

John, I actually think the pilot might work, but I am not so certain about it. I think the DG606 and the A606 were taken out of service sense the push button assembly got stuck and gummed up, and I did free it up and seems to be working now, and the person I bought the A606 and DG606 from said the push buttons were stuck not allowing the dryer to turn on, and they look like they weren’t used for years, and it’s safe to say they sat in storage for 10 years due to the push buttons being stuck on the DG606.
