Its a good idea, but you cant,
the elements are set up for heat through resistance
on 220 you actaly have 110 on both sides of the heater,
if you want a 110 dryer your gonna have to go with gas, or buy a dryer manufactured for 110 heat, but Ive been doing this for alot of years and I have oonly seen like 3 and I dont remember the manufacture
sorry i could help more
but you should be answered, it was a good question

My machine has a 220 plug and I need a 110. How can i change this to work?

if that's an electric dryer that runs on 240 volt and that's why that cord is on it you can't just remove it and put a 120 volt cord on it,you need an electrician to run a 240 volt plug in your laundry room to run the dryer.

My kennmore dryer model # 11062912100 won't heat up what is the possible cause?


check the heating element itself with a meter for continuity OHMS CLOSED CIRCUIT. If not its defective.

Check dryer Terminal block prongs both outside prongs should give combined 220, and 110 each if u check 1 outside & 1 center (ground) prong. Also check house electrical outlet for full voltage. 220 because if u only get half or 110 volts you will be able to run the machine which uses only 110 to run motor but not the heater which uses a full 220,

Check the thermal cut off, the cycling and the hi limit thermostats.
For continuity or OHMS. If no ohms or resistance they need replacement.

Lastly check your moister sensor. ( located inside the dryer door usually) Especially if machine seems to shut down early and clothes are still wet.
Test with a meter at room temperature and it should show continuity.

I have a lg dryer with a 220 electric hook up plug and in my house there is only a 110 electrical outlet. is there any way I can just change out the cord to a 110 electric cord and use it?

No. the new dryers have to have a 220V power. You first have to replace or add a 220 outlet on the wall that matches the connector on the dryer.

My dryer is running, but doesn't have heat.

All electric dryers use 220-240 volts of electricity to run. The elements that make the heat are what actually need the 220 volts, the motor that turns the drum only uses 110. If you have a fused service disconnect box, replace both fuses, as one side is gone. 220/240 is made up of two 110/120 lines coming in, if one fuse, one side, blows, then all that's left is the 110/120 needed to run the drum motor, but no 220/240 to run the heat element. If there is no service disconnect then check the breaker than runs the dryer, flip it off and then back on to see if that makes any difference. Sometimes it will. Then there's the possibility that the hi-limit thermostat on the heat chamber in the machine blew, letting the drum run, but not feeding the coils. If you're not real handy with tools you may want to call a repair tech for this one.

I Like to know in what vltage that dryer works? 110 or 220?

this is 220, only small apartment sized machines are 110.
