Speed Queen Gas Dryers

Speed Queen Gas Dryers at Plesser's Appliances

Speed Queen gas dryers, available at Plesser's Appliances, use a gas burner for heat and a standard circuit for the motor and controls. Designed and assembled in Ripon, Wisconsin by Alliance Laundry Systems, they deliver the same commercial-platform construction as the rest of the Speed Queen lineup, with the operating-cost advantage gas typically holds over electric.

Lower Operating Cost, Faster Heat
Where natural gas is available, gas drying generally costs less per load than electric and gets to temperature faster, which shortens cycles. Over a household's worth of laundry across years, that difference adds up. It also frees the 240V circuit an electric dryer would need, which matters in a panel that is already close to capacity.

Natural Gas and LP Configurations
Gas dryers are built for natural gas, with LP conversion available where propane is the supply — relevant in areas without a gas main. Conversion requires the correct kit and should be done at installation, not later. Confirm which fuel your home actually supplies and whether a conversion kit is needed before the order goes in.

Sanitize, Steam, and Over-Dry Protection
Sanitizing cycles run at elevated temperature for bedding and towels, steam cycles on select models refresh and de-wrinkle, and over-dry protection stops the cycle when the load is actually dry rather than running a timer out. Over-drying is what wears fabric down over time, so this feature does more for the life of your clothes than any other. Availability varies by series.

Pet Plus and Higher-Series Features
Higher-series models add the Pet Plus system for hair and dander, refresh cycles, and longer factory coverage. Feature sets differ across the DR and DC ranges, so confirm the specific cycle list for the model you are considering rather than assuming it matches a sibling model.

Gas Connection, Venting, and Warranty
Gas installation requires a proper gas connection made by a qualified installer, a standard grounded circuit, and correct venting — a long, crushed, or clogged vent run is both the most common cause of poor drying and a genuine safety concern with a gas appliance. Warranty term varies by series and covers parts and in-home labor. Talk to the team at Plesser's Appliances about fuel type, LP conversion, venting, and installation before ordering.
