How to Install a Kit to Convert From Gas to Propane on an LG Dryer

Automatic gas dryers manufactured by the LG company come in a wide range of models, each with a distinct set of features and design elements. Each model is designed to use natural gas to provide heat. Liquefied petroleum, or propane, can be used in place of natural gas if the gas burner assembly is converted. A conversion kit contains the components needed to modify the LG gas dryer.
