Answer to continue safely
Is it safe to keep using?
No. Do not continue using the dryer when the GAS error is active. If the igniter repeatedly fires without achieving combustion, unburned gas may accumulate. The root cause must be identified and corrected before operation.
Can I reset the code?
Yes. After confirming the gas supply is open and no gas smell is present, power cycle the dryer and attempt a heat cycle. If GAS returns immediately, the igniter, gas valve solenoids, or flame sensor require professional testing.
When to stop immediately?
Stop if you notice: Any gas smell near the dryer — evacuate and call the gas utility immediately; do not attempt to restart the appliance., GAS code returns every cycle even with the supply valve confirmed open, indicating an internal gas valve or igniter failure..
Symptoms You May Notice
Dryer tumbles but produces no heat and clothes stay damp
The drum rotates normally and the igniter attempts to fire, but without gas ignition no heat is produced and clothes remain wet after a full cycle.
Clicking sound from igniter area with no burner flame
The igniter activates and may glow visibly through the igniter inspection hole, but no flame appears because gas is not reaching the burner.
GAS code on display after repeated ignition attempts
The dryer makes several ignition attempts, fails to detect a flame each time, and displays GAS to alert the user that the gas heating circuit is non-functional.
Gas supply valve found in the closed position
Inspection of the gas shutoff valve at the wall or behind the dryer reveals it was accidentally closed, cutting off all gas supply to the appliance.
Possible Causes
Gas supply valve closed or gas service interrupted
The manual shutoff valve at the wall, the dryer's service shutoff, or a utility service interruption prevents any gas from reaching the burner.
DIY PossibleFailed gas valve solenoid coils
The electromagnetic coils that open the gas valve inside the dryer burn out over time, preventing the valve from opening even when the igniter is hot and ready.
Requires ProfessionalBurned-out igniter or faulty flame sensor
A cracked igniter no longer reaches ignition temperature, or a failed radiant flame sensor cannot confirm combustion — either condition triggers the GAS fault after multiple failed ignition cycles.
Requires ProfessionalSafe Checks You Can Do
-
1
Verify the gas supply valve is open
Locate the gas shutoff valve on the supply line behind or beside the dryer. The valve handle should be parallel to the gas pipe (open position). If it is perpendicular to the pipe, it is closed — turn it parallel to the pipe to open the gas supply.

2
Check other gas appliances in the home
Test a gas range burner or check the water heater pilot. If other gas appliances are also not working, the issue is a utility supply interruption — contact your gas company. If only the dryer is affected, the problem is specific to the dryer's gas circuit.

3
Sniff test for gas smell
Before attempting any restart, smell near the dryer for natural gas odor (sulfur or rotten egg smell). If gas smell is present, do not operate any switches — leave the area and call your gas utility. If no smell is detected, a power reset can be attempted after confirming the supply valve is open.
When to Call a Professional
Contact a qualified technician if:
- Resistance test of the igniter shows an open circuit (no continuity), confirming the igniter element is burned out and must be replaced.
- Gas valve solenoid coils measure outside the specified resistance range or show open circuit, requiring solenoid kit replacement.
- The radiant flame sensor fails a continuity test at room temperature, confirming it cannot detect burner ignition.
