Can you convert a 220 dryer element to a 120 ellement

you can't do that,why didn't he just run a 240 volt plug to the dryer

Sounds as if the converter may be bad. The washer needs 120 volts when the dryer 220-2225.The converter determines or supplies which is which.

It could be the heating ellement(s)
They can be found by taking the back panel off.
Before doing ANYTHIG unplug the dryer to avoid injury.

You do need the model number to order parts...typically on a stacked unit the model number is inside the dryer door

All standard dryer motors run on 120V. Its the heater that uses 240. Its possible to wire a dryer for 120V operation and it will appear to run ok but it won't heat efficiently and it will take several cycles to get the clothes dry. Sounds like you have a mechanical problem with the motor.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

Models will be manufactured for each. Check the plates on the back; I'm sure it will be marked there, or in your booklet (?).

If the dryer is electric, you most likely have one of two issues going on...

1. An electric dryer uses 240VAC to operate. That's actually two 120 volt circuits wired into the dryer. One circuit runs the drum motor and controls while the other is dedicated to running the heating element. Check both legs of this circuit for blown fuses, etc.

2. The heating element may be worn out. You can check continuity of the element to see if it has an open circuit inside.

If the dryer is gas, there are a number of possibilities... post again if that's the case.

Good luck.

check for proper voltage to the machine should have 220 volts if you only have 110 volts it will run but not heat if you have 220 volts you could have a bad heating element

the dryer won't heat up. everything else works. the drum goes around with clothes in it. it just won't heat up .

If you hook it up to 120 volts (by connecting L2[red] to common [white] the dryer will operate, but your heating element will only produce 25% of the heat it would on a 220v circuit. The drying time would be about 3 hours, and the auto dry setting may not work. Heat difference is about 5000 watts of heat on 220v, vs 1250 watts on 120v circuit.
