The Maytag MGDC400VW is a gas dryer, it uses natural gas as its source of heat.

It's a common misconception that all clothes dryers use electricity to heat the air, but gas dryers are also available on the market. They use a gas burner to heat the air, rather than an electric heating element.

Gas dryers typically heat up faster than electric dryers and may be more energy efficient in some areas where the cost of natural gas is less than the cost of electricity.

If you're still uncertain about the type of dryer you have, you could check the manual that came with the dryer, or you can check the data plate on the dryer itself, or you could contact the Maytag customer service for more information.

It's important to note that gas dryers require a gas line and a 120-volt electrical outlet and are typically installed by a professional.
