SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20180526-BA9B9-2147387732. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Kenmore Kenmore model 110.27062600. Source model text: 110.75132412. Incident: I have had a new Kenmore Mod# 110.75132412, S#M72414798.Natural gas dryer. I converted to LP gas working great for 9 months.Then it started blowing fire into the drum, smoking up the drum and my clothing. You could see the fire coming into the drum while running. Sears repair came out and said I did not have the correct LP conversion kit installed. I ordered a new one directly from Sears parts. It came and would not work with the original dryer burner control. I had Sears service personnel come out again and he could not make it work either again. He stated the two parts were no comparable. Now I have a dryer that does not work.
