No, it is never normal or safe to smell gas near a gas clothes dryer, even in small amounts. While a momentary, faint whiff of gas can occasionally occur for a fraction of a second during initial burner ignition if gas valve solenoids are sluggish, any persistent or noticeable gas odor indicates a potentially dangerous gas leak in the supply line, a faulty burner igniter failing to light the gas promptly, or a loose pipe fitting. You can troubleshoot gas safety easily by shutting off the manual gas supply valve immediately. You can verify that your corrective action is safe when having a professional certified technician inspect the gas line connections and replace faulty components eliminates the gas odor completely.
