how can I use a 220 volt dryer in a 110 volt outlet?

Question

I'm interested in purchasing a traditional dryer, how can I use a 220 volt dryer in a 110 volt outlet?

Answer 1

You can't connect a 220 V dryer to 110V outlet, however you can use a voltage transformer and connect the it to 110V outlet and then connect the dryer to the voltage transformer. I have seen them offered on quick220.com

Answer 2

This will never work. You have to get a 220 volt outlet installed for the dryer. Even if you could use the dryer on a 110 volt outlet it would use much more power than it would when properly wired.

Answer 3

This can not be done..... Your dryer NEEDS 220 volts...... Your going to have to hire an electrician to install a 220 volt outlet.... There is NO way a dryer that requires 220 volts can run on 110 volts.....

Answer 4

If it can be done it will be in your owner's manual. Otherwise call an electrician to have a 220 outlet put in your laundry room.

Answer 5

you can use a transformer you can get one for about a hundred bucks
