The drier should have its operating voltage range marked on it. A heating element designed for 240 v would use 25% less electric power and produce 25% less heat when run on 208 v. So it would still dry clothes but it would take longer. If it has a motor to rotate it, whether the motor would operate correctly on 208 v is another matter.
No, it is not possible to use 240 volts with a 120 volt supply directly. You would need a transformer to step up the voltage from 120 volts to 240 volts. Attempting to use 240 volts with a 120 volt supply without a transformer can damage equipment and pose a safety hazard.
No, 240 volt appliances from New Zealand cannot run on 240 volts in the US. The electrical systems in these countries are different. Appliances intended for use in New Zealand are designed to operate on 230-240 volts at 50 hertz, while in the US, the standard voltage is 120 volts at 60 hertz. Using a 240-volt appliance from New Zealand in the US without a voltage converter or transformer could damage the appliance or pose a safety hazard.
You would have to run new wires to obtain 240 volts or use a step-up transformer.
You should not go above 240 volts for that type of motor.
No. 240 Volts was the nominal standard in Australia with a tolerance of +/- 10%, So the voltage could be anywhere between 216 Volts and 264 Volts. The change to 230 volts is part of international harmonisation between countries that use 220 volt standards and 240 volt Standards. The new tolerance levels are +10% and - 6%.
240 volts maximum.
One has an element designed to work on 120 volts, the other has an element designed to work on 240 volts.

To convert a 240 volt power source to a 120 volt power source using a 240 volt to 120 volt adapter, simply plug the adapter into the 240 volt outlet and then plug your 120 volt device into the adapter. The adapter will step down the voltage from 240 volts to 120 volts, allowing you to safely power your device. Make sure the adapter is rated for the appropriate wattage to avoid damaging your device.
Because 240 volts is dangerous

France uses 220-240 volts for their electrical system.
120/240 volts is the working voltage in North America.

Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.To operate a 240 volt load in the home you use two adjacent breakers. This will give you a voltage of 240 volts where as one breaker to neutral will give you 120 volts.
