What else can I help you with?
Can you convert a gas dryer 120V hookup to an electric dryer 240V hookup?
Chances are there is more than 1 outlet connected to the 110volt circuit you are looking to convert. So therefore the easy answer is No. The 240volt dryer circuit must be a dedicated single circuit for the dryer only.
Can you hook up a 240V circuit in series to a dryer and electric range?
The short answer is no. First off I assume you mean "can you have a dryer and an electric range on the same circuit?" (If they were actually wired in series, then you couldn't use your range if the dryer was off) In theory you could have them on the same circuit you just need to make sure that the wiring and the circuit they are on can handle the number of amps the two of them could draw together. If your breaker isn't big enough, it kill the power to the range while you are cooking dinner. If the wiring can't handle the load, then there is a fire risk. A dryer is usually on a 30amp circuit and a range is usually on a 50amp circuit, so to have them together would require an 80amp circuit, which will be difficult to find a breaker and wiring for.
Where is the double 30 amp breaker in an electric dryer?
It should be in the main circuit panel. If the dryer was added at some point there may be a separate box just for the dryer either beside the main panel or at the dryer plug. It is not in the dryer itself.
Why would a dryer shock me if i put my hand on it?

Why does electrc trip when you plug in tumble dryer?
A common reason for a tripped electrical circuit when plugging in a tumble dryer could be an overload of the circuit. Tumble dryers require a high amount of power to operate, and if the electrical circuit is already stressed with other appliances, it may trip as a safety precaution. It is advisable to have a dedicated circuit for a tumble dryer to prevent tripping.
