The Kenmore 84722 (Sears.com) is a 110Volt dryer. Note that because it only has 110 Volts (not the 240 Volts of a typical dryer) it will take a long time to dry, and the capacity is small. There is also a 110 Volt laundry center (with the same caveats) Kenmore 88732.
Each unit also needs venting (permanent or temporary) to the outside.
Additional answer:There are many clothes dryers that will operate on 110 volts - and they are usually ones with gas heaters. These include Maytag, Whirlpool, Kenmore, GE, Hotpoint, Haier, LG, Samsung and others.
Although harder to find, they do make 110 volt clothes dryers. They are usually a smaller capacity than 220 volt dryers and may take longer for clothes to dry.
If you live in a Country that uses 110 V as domestic supply you will only be able to buy 110 V appliances. If not, you have no need for 110 V appliances, you will find nowhere to connect it.
No. It will take forever to dry clothes and probably burn out very quickly. It may not even be able to turn the drum.
If you are no longer using the dryer and there are 4-wires, and the dryer was 220 to 240 volts, it can be split into two 110 to 120 Volt circuits.
No !
No and it wouldn't work. The wires in a standard plug (#14) even at 240 volts would not be large enough to handle the 30 amps (#10) that a dryer would need.
A gas dryer uses natural gas or propane to heat the air inside the dryer to dry clothes. This heated air is then circulated through the drum to evaporate the moisture from the clothes.
Yes - usually house voltage varies from 110 to 120 volts.
Because a toaster does not pull near the current that a cloths dryer does.

Yes - a hair-dryer rated at 120 volts will work in a 110 volt outlet.

220 volts. In the US.
No. They are two different voltage and amperage rated pieces of equipment. Also, a dryer does not use a common (neutral) wire. It uses two separate 110 volt legs, and a ground. The washer uses only one 110 volt leg, a neutral, and a ground.
For a standard clothes dryer, new homes are roughed in with 3C #10 cable which is rated at 30 amps.
You can't. A 220 volt dryer requires 220 volts in order to operate properly. It will not run on 110 volts.
No !
You would need to use a transformer to step up the voltage from 220V to 240V. However, changing the frequency from 50Hz to 60Hz is more complicated and may require a frequency converter, which can be costly and may not be practical for a household appliance like a clothes dryer. It's recommended to consult a professional electrician before attempting to modify the electrical system.
Only use 110-120 volt appliances on a 110 volt socket.
