How do you convert a gas drier to an electric drier?
A gas clothes dryer will never become an electric dryer. To convert from an old gas dryer to a new electric model, the only major thing is to make sure there is the right kind of electric power outlet. Nearly all dryers require a large 30A 230V plug. Your gas dryer had only a regular 15A 117V plug, just light the other regular outlets in the house. Grounding is essential (!) for an electric dryer. If the ground is not there you will eventually get a horrible shock from the washer or dryer. A few clothes dryers (usually apartment sized models) use only the standard outlet, but expect a drying time of 2 hours plus for a small load of clothes.
Is there an adapter for a gas dryer to electric?
No, a gas dryer uses gas, which cannot be converted into electricity with a simple adapter.

There could be several reasons why your Whirlpool gas dryer is not heating up, such as a faulty igniter, gas valve solenoid, thermal fuse, or thermostat. It is recommended to check these components for any issues and replace them if necessary to restore proper heat function in your dryer. If you are unsure how to troubleshoot or fix the problem, consider contacting a professional appliance repair service for assistance.
