What causes a 220v wire to pull only 110v?
The fact that it's supposed to. Voltage is stated as the difference between the two wires carrying electricity to the load. When they bring power to the house from the utility, you get two wires carrying 110v but they're 180 degrees out of phase. Imagine one carries positive 110v and the other carries negative 110v. If you hook one of these wires plus a neutral (zero volts) to the load, you get 110v--110v over 0v. If you hook both of them to the load, you get positive 110v over negative 110v, or 220v. So...red to white is 110v, black to white is 110v, red to black is 220v.

120V gas Kenmore dryer and the hook up location has the big 240V female receptacle--what is easiest solution thanks?
The easiest solution is to leave the 220V original outlet alone and plug the 110V dryer into a close 110V outlet, most likely the one for the washer. There should be nearby 110V outlets so you don't have to muck with rewiring the 220V outlet. A short heavy-duty extension cord is an option. I would also recommend killing the power to the old dryer outlet if it is unused. It cannot hurt. If you cannot plug the dryer into a nearby 110V outlet you can derate the 220V outlet down to a dedicated 110V outlet. This is not a task to be taken lightly if you are not experienced. If you do take this course of action yourself, buy a book. Do it right or don't do it at all. Negligence could kill someone.
