several ways. can you look behind the dryer? is there a small metal hose or tube that is not the dryer vent. Usually has a yellow handle valve on it. That is the gas line. If you cant see behind, sometimes there is a little square plastic piece on the bottom front of the dryer, you can pop that off and see if there is a pilot flame. If you dont want to do that, check the plug that you use for the dryer. If you have a regular two or three prong plug, it is gas. If you have a big monstrosity of a plug and the prongs are different than normal it is an electric.
