most dryers

All dryers.

For near enough to every single model not to matter the LP conversion kit is sold separately, also. For Whirlpool and their subsidiaries (Maytag) in particular, their LP kit lineup recently changed just to make matters more confusing, and probably not all retailers are up to date on which model requires which kit. So have fun with that.

TL;DR: Your life will be much easier if your house is served by natural gas rather than propane.

My electric dryer isn't set up for it

It's undocumented but if you run the gas line into the drier drum, every electric model will accept it.

I wasn't sure so I didn't want to make a definitive statement, so thanks for the confirmation.

Though I will say that I recently bought an LG gas dryer and converting it to propane just involved a new gas nozzle and turning a screw.

No prob. You were on the right track.

One of my duties in life is maintaining a major appliance e-commerce web site with ~14,500 SKU's. So I might know a thing... or two... about appliances.

As someone who's probably ordered the wrong part and then the right part from your site about a dozen times: Thank you for your service o7
