Determining whether natural gas or propane is leaking from a gas clothes dryer involves utilizing your senses of smell and sound, as well as performing a simple bubble test. First, look for the distinct rotten egg odor added to utility gas. Second, listen for a faint hissing or whistling sound near the flexible gas supply line connection or the gas valve housing. Third, mix a solution of liquid dish soap and water and brush it generously over all gas pipe fittings, connectors, and shut-off valves. You can troubleshoot gas leaks safely without tools. You can verify that your corrective action or test is successful when seeing no bubbles form in the soapy water solution confirms that all gas connections are completely sealed and leak-free.
