The time it takes for a new gas dryer to heat up and begin tumbling clothes after starting the cycle can vary depending on the specific model and brand, as well as the environmental conditions and the size and type of load inside the dryer. However, in general, a gas dryer should start producing heat and tumbling the clothes within a minute or two after the cycle begins.
When you start a new cycle on a gas dryer, the burner or heating element should ignite almost immediately to start generating heat. Once the dryer's heating element reaches the desired temperature, the dryer's drum (where the clothes are placed) should start tumbling.
If the dryer takes significantly longer than a few minutes to produce heat and start tumbling, it might indicate a potential issue with the dryer. Possible reasons for a delay in heating or tumbling could be faulty components, blocked vents, or improper installation.
For the most accurate information regarding your specific gas dryer model, it's best to consult the manufacturer's user manual or contact their customer support. They can provide precise details about the expected heating and tumbling times for your particular appliance.
