Is this a propane house or natural gas house? I know on propane
installations you can get this if the vent on the pressure regulator is
clogged or damaged, but I have not seen that sort of thing in a natural gas
system. Maybe ask your gas supplier? I know our propane provider had a
preferred contractor that did our Nat to LP conversion when we bought a new
gas dryer.
