Not advisable. Both units consume huge amounts of Amps (amperes = current) and the normal 20 or 30 amp breaker may not sustain prolonged operation of both. Where I live, we have two electric meters ... one just for the water heater, the other for the house and all it's electrical needs (except for the water heater).

∙ 9y agoThe circuit must be able to supply enough current for the dryer. That can be checked somewhere on the back of the dryer. But a heater circuit can usually supply a fairly large current. If the dryer takes too much current you will trip the circuit breaker or blow the fuse.

Can you convert a gas dryer 120V hookup to an electric dryer 240V hookup?
Chances are there is more than 1 outlet connected to the 110volt circuit you are looking to convert. So therefore the easy answer is No. The 240volt dryer circuit must be a dedicated single circuit for the dryer only.
Why does the furnace kick out the breaker?
The only reason the dryer breaker will trip is it senses an overload or a short circuit on the circuit. To test this unplug the dryer and see if the breaker will stay latched. If it does then the wiring to the receptacle is not at fault. If you want to delve further into the problem, leave the dryer unplugged and remove the inspection panel at the back of the dryer and check the connections. Sometimes the screw terminals become loose and corroded and cause the dryer to draw more current. To compensate for the higher resistance at the faulty terminals the dryer will try to draw more current that the breaker will allow. If everything looks good after trying both of these things it is time for a repairman to come in and look at the dryer itself, as the fault is probably an internal problem within the dryer body.
Can a 30A dedicated circuit for a heater have the heater removed and the circuit used for lighting?
Yes provided the voltage is compatible.
Where is the double 30 amp breaker in an electric dryer?
It should be in the main circuit panel. If the dryer was added at some point there may be a separate box just for the dryer either beside the main panel or at the dryer plug. It is not in the dryer itself.

Is a clothes dryer an example of a centrifuge?
Yes, and it has a heater inside which increases temperature inside the dryer to accelerate drying.
Can a 30A dedicated circuit for a heater have the heater removed and the circuit used for lighting?
Yes provided the voltage is compatible.
What does it mean when it says heater circuit is high?
The circuit is open. Wires could be disconnected/damaged or the heater element is burned out.
Can you run two laundry dryers on one 220 circuit?
No you can only have one dryer on a 240v circuit and nothing else can be attached to it either considering your using a 240v electric dryer

When you turn off the switch of a blow dryer does that create a series circuit?
No, it opens the circuit so that no current flows.
Where is heat usually used?
on the stove, oven microwave, a heater, the sun, and dryer
