No, an American clothes dryer designed for 240 volts and 60 Hz will not work in France, where the standard voltage is 230 volts and the frequency is 50 Hz. Using it without a proper voltage converter and frequency adapter could damage the appliance and pose safety risks. Additionally, plug configurations differ between the two countries, requiring an adapter for the physical connection.

Can you change a dryer from 120 volts to 240 volts It came wired as 120 volts but we do have an outlet for 240 volts Was hoping to speed up dry times and save some?
If the dryer is a clothes dryer then the short answer no. If it is a hair dryer then there might be a voltage switch on the handle that allows you to change voltages. If the manufacturer of the clothes dryer specified that it can be operated on dual voltages then it is just a matter of changing a few terminal connections. Check the instruction manual to see what it states there. This is very unlikely though. In North America all clothes dryers need 120/240 volts to operate. The 120 volts is used for the timer relays and for the drum motor, the 240 volts for the heating elements in the dryer. By changing to a higher voltage, it will not speed up the speed up the drying time. It is more likely that if you plug the dryer into the 240 volt receptacle it will burn the 120 volt motor out.

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.

In your home your stove and your electric dryer usually run on volts?
Household appliances usually have a voltage of either 110 or 220 volts; there should be a sticker somewhere that tells you the voltage for specific appliances. Make sure you don't plug it into the wrong voltage. Especially plugging an equipment designed for 110V into an outlet that gives 220V will burn your equipment.
An electric clothes dryer has a resistance of 16 ohms It draws 15 A of current What is the voltage in volts of the wall outlet that it is plugged into?
We know that Voltage = Current x Resistance, so if E = I x R, then E = 20 x 12 = 240 volts, and the dryer must be plugged into a 240 volt outlet.
