I think there's a separate class of appliance on the CORGI ticket for
gas domestic tumble dryers, and not many CORGIs have it, so just check
there is someone local who can repair/service it.

There's no regular servicing specified for my White Knight. It's easy
enough to fix most things yourself on them anyway. In the 16 yrs that we've
had ours, I've had to replace a couple of thermostats (about 14 years ago)
and one solenoid (about 12 years ago). Never needed to disturb any gas
connections.

Apart from that it gets nothing other than an occasional internal
defluffing.
