for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.A new 240 volt socket outlet needs to be installed so that you can then just plug the new dryer into it.

Call a licensed electrician.

<><><>

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.

Before you do any work yourself,

on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,

always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB

SAFELY AND COMPETENTLY

REFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.

When did the dryer come out?

In the early 1800s, prototype clothes dryers were first starting to be invented in England and France. One common kind of early clothes dryer was the ventilator, made by a Frenchman named Pochon. It was a barrel-shaped metal drum with holes in it that was turned by hand over a fire. One early American patent for a clothes dryer was granted to George T. Sampson on June 7, 1892. Sampson's dryer used the heat from a stove to dry clothes and was another type of ventilator machine.

Can you change the wall outlet to fit a 4 prong dryer outlet?

It's probably more difficult than you might expect. I'm assuming you have a NEMA 5-15R outlet, and you want to plug in a dryer that has a NEMA 14-30P plug at the end of its electric cable. The NEMA 5-15R outlet is by far the most common type of outlet in North America. It has two flat slots (hot and neutral), and a round safety ground hole. It is rated for 15 A and 125 V. On the other hand, most electric clothes dryers have an electric cable with a NEMA 14-30P plug on the end. It has two flat slots (2 hots from 2 different phases, each one 120 V from neutral, and each one rated at 30 A), an L slot (neutral), and a round safety plug. It is possible for an electrician to "fish" a electric cable carrying the necessary phases through the wall from the fuse box to that outlet, and then pull the old outlet and install a new outlet. If one merely did that last part -- pulled the old outlet and placed a new outlet -- without the proper electrical cables in the wall behind it, then the dryer would probably blow the fuse at the fusebox every time it was turned on.


What type of outlet is needed to plug in an electric scooter?

The majority would plug into a standard outlet (120), however others may require a 240 outlet. You will need to check with the individual scooter to ensure you have the proper outlet to charge it.


How is a condenser dryer different from a conventional dryer?

A conventional dryer takes air from the room it's in and heats it up, then blows it into the chamber where the clothes are while tumbling the clothes. The cooler more humid air is then vented to the outside. A condenser dryer is basically a refrigerator in reverse. Air from inside the dryer is continually heated up using a condenser which is also cooling the outside air. The heated air is used again and again and the humidity taken out via the condenser, so this type of dryer does not need to be vented to the outside.

Can a gas dryer be converted to an electric one?

For a gas dryer in the US you will need a 120 volt outlet to plug into. The old electric dryer was 220 volts so that outlet cannot be used as it is currently. Second, you will need to have a gas line run to the site of the new dryer. That should be it.


What type of outlet is needed to supply electricity to a spray tan machine?

A spray tan machine needs an outlet with a ground so that electrocution does not occur. The outlet must supply at least 110 volts. A standard outlet with a ground installed should suffice.
