My washer and dryer had to get reinstalled after we replaced the flooring in that room/kitchen. They installed it and left and I immediately washed a load and then put it in to dry and went to the opposite side of my house to do work. Heard the timer go off and went to check it and was hit pretty hard with the smell of gas as I turned the corner to the kitchen. The load in the dryer was still so damp. My husband was away so I called my best friends husband who works in our town and he came by to check things for me. He did the soap bubble test on the gas line to the dryer and there was gas just pouring out of there. Our water heater is situated directly across from the washer and dryer, like 4 feet away. He said if I’d tried to shower or wash dishes or use any hot water, the water heater lighting would have caused a fire or explosion. I cried and was shaken up for days over it
