• Plugs open pipe or hose fittings to prevent water leaks
• Helps maintain proper water flow by sealing unused ports
• Keeps debris and contaminants out of the plumbing system
• Can stop intermittent drips originating from service openings

• One pipe plug

• Turn off water supply and power to the appliance before starting work
• Hand-start threads to avoid cross-threading; tighten only to OEM torque or finger-tight plus a quarter-turn if unspecified

The LP Conversion Kit is an OEM component for Whirlpool and KitchenAid gas dryers. It allows conversion from natural gas to liquid propane fuel operation. Over time in gas-powered dryers, improper gas/air mixture causes part wear like weakened burner components. This is risky if overlooked but converting to an alternative fuel safely remedies. 

Causes relate to unavoidable deterioration from gas combustion stresses. Conversion using this kit prevents hazardous gas leaks or explosions.

Symptoms involve:

• Diminished or unsafe heat levels from burners
• Gas leaks which exacerbate safety risks over time

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
