Yes, gas-powered clothes dryers burn natural gas or propane during operation, which means combustion byproducts, including trace amounts of carbon monoxide, water vapor, and combustion gases, are produced. Under normal operating conditions, these exhaust gases are safely and completely vented straight outdoors through the rigid metal exhaust duct system. However, if the exhaust vent duct is severely clogged with lint or disconnected, dangerous carbon monoxide gas can leak indoors. You can troubleshoot gas safety easily by inspecting duct connections. You can verify that your venting system is safe when checking that the rigid metal exhaust duct remains securely connected and unblocked ensures all carbon monoxide vents safely outside your home.
