Best Answer

Hard wired means that there is no plug and receptacle in the circuit powering the dryer. What you will find is a metal jacketed cable that will come out of the wall or floor and go right into the dryer.

Is there a siren that can be screwed into the light socket of a motion activated light fixture?

None that I know of, but if you can find a separate siren unit that is powered by 120 volts and in the 5 amp range, it can be hard wired into the motion light.

Need to buy a 220V clothes dryer and plug into a 110V outlet A can an electrician rewire or B will a transformer work and C know it will be inefficient but will it be safe?

This isn't an answer- it's from the questioner :) Just to clarify: This is the small, apartment-sized, stacked washer-dryer unit. They used to commonly come in 110V. They are still out there but old and sell for same price used as the used newer 220V. So we'd like to buy a newer used 220V and convert if possible and safe. Don't know the watts on these, tho. But must not be as large as regular sized dryers?


Why will not your dryer come on?

Usually there is only a few things to keep a dryer from starting, 1 - one leg of your power is out. The dryer runs on 230 volts but the motor is only 115 volts, so if one side of your breaker is bad or one fuse has opened the motor might not run, 2 - door switch could be bad, 3 - timer could be bad, 4 - motor itself is bad, if the start winding is open usually the motor will just hum and not turn the drum.

What makes clothes stick together in the dryer and how does using dryer sheets help eliminate this?

i think its the electricity(static electricity) created in the dryer, i guess you can try not to use too much heat and too much clothes in one machine because i guess that's what makes it static,you know they compress and create pressure and stuff and that's why they stick together...

what kind of voltage converter do I Need To Run A Clothes Dryer When I Just Have Standard 110 voltage In My Home ?

A step down converter will convert the voltage from 220/230 volts to 110 volts. Converters are labeled to display their capabilities, such as "110V to 220V Converter". Read the instruction manual for your Clothes Dryer and sketch the plug. You'll want to know the voltage of the clothes dryer --- it'll likely be 220 V. You need to visit a major appliance dealer and ask to buy a step down converter after discussing the plug type and voltage found in the owner's manual.


Explain how the AUTO DRY cycle on a clothes dryer works How it knows that the clothing is dry?

As the clothes dry, water is evaporated. This evaporation lowers the temperature of the air flowing out the dryer vent. Once most of the water is evaporated, the cooling effect is gone, and the temperature of the vent air rises. The dryer has a temperature sensor in the vent outlet that senses the temperature rise and shuts off a few minutes later. I wondered this myself after I got a new dryer with the auto dry feature and so researched the subject a few months ago. Inquiring minds want to know!
