To safely connect a 220-volt dryer to a 110-volt outlet, you cannot directly plug it in, as the voltage and amperage requirements are different. Instead, you should consult a licensed electrician to either install a dedicated 220-volt outlet or use a transformer that can convert the voltage appropriately. Attempting to use a 220-volt appliance with a 110-volt outlet can damage the appliance and pose a serious safety hazard.

No, you cannot simply change the wall plug to make a 110 volt outlet support a 240 volt appliance. The voltage requirements of the appliance and the outlet must match for safe operation. You would need to install a dedicated 240 volt outlet and ensure that the wiring and circuitry can handle the higher voltage. It is recommended to consult a licensed electrician for this type of electrical work.
