LP Dryer Conversion Kit for the LG DLGX3361W

The LG DLGX3361W is a 7.4-cubic foot steam dryer with a stainless steel drum. The dryer produces heat by igniting the natural gas supply inside the dryer cabinet. If a natural gas source is not available, a conversion kit can be used to allow the dryer to work with another source. A conversion kit modifies the gas assembly to utilize liquified petroleum gas, also known as LP or propane.
