(Cooktop) Gas Leak

I've detected a small gas leak (soap bubble test) where the gas line connects to the gas regulator of my cooktop (natural gas). Are the threads reversed like in a propane tank? I don't want to tighten the wrong way.

Thanks

No-- conventional threads (NPT) Do not use teflon on the adapter fitting into reg. To easy to overtighten & crack reg, causing even bigger leak. Use pipe dope ie Rector Seal #5 or any joint compound rated for nat gas

Kenmore dryer moisture sensor

I have a kenmore gas dryer # 110.87467810.In the auto dry mode, it does not get the clothes dry. I checked the vent, it is clear. I think it is the moisture sensor. The sears parts website has a listing for a SENSOR, RADIANT p/n 338906. Is this the same sensor? They have 1 in stock close to home. ThanksRead More
