Sure, you want to get technical, if it malfunctions, it can emit CM but the OP simply said "leaking" which I concluded as hot air from the vent, WHICH does not emit CM during normal cycles. Otherwise, internal vent kits wouldn't be allowed. |

There's vague/conflicting information about whether internal vent kits are allowed on gas dryers. I accept that your statement is 'probably' correct. Few people die from carbon monoxide. Explain that statistic to those who do. |

Explain that statistic to those who do. I could not find a specific code, but all the indoor vent kits I saw said they were for electric dryers. Compared to a furnace, the carbon monoxide is minimal, but still there. |

You wouldn't think it would be easy for that to happen either. A WH doesn't run like a furnace would, doesn't have anywhere near the gas consumption. |

wrote in message ... After a month waiting for my husband to fix it i finally ducted taped the hole. Very unclear post. How exactly is the vent to the outside leaking? Or are you talking about the duct that runs from the dryer to the outside vent? Saying you have a leaking outside vent normally means you have water coming in. |
