Hey Mike, you will have to contact M&R, have the serial number handy. They will tell you that you will need a different valve for natural gas. Our dryer had a natural gas valve on it, and at install they had to swap it to a propane valve. The valves have different orphuses and settings. More than likely, you will need a tech to change other settings since it ran on propane before. They, "may" be able to instruct you over the phone, but it's tricky dialing in all of the settings.
Also, make sure with this dryer, that you are able to have little to no 90 degree elbows on your exhaust your will have lots of issues with start up. It's very sensitive on sensing proper exhaust flow. We had to add an inline booster in our exhaust run because we had no choice but to have 2 90 degree turns in our piping and we still have the occasional start up issue. It's mainly that the alarm will sound, you have to hit stop and start a few times, but getting with M&R tech support is the best thing for you right now, they will be more than happy to help you out, great support team there.
