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.

120V gas Kenmore dryer and the hook up location has the big 240V female receptacle--what is easiest solution thanks?
The easiest solution is to leave the 220V original outlet alone and plug the 110V dryer into a close 110V outlet, most likely the one for the washer. There should be nearby 110V outlets so you don't have to muck with rewiring the 220V outlet. A short heavy-duty extension cord is an option. I would also recommend killing the power to the old dryer outlet if it is unused. It cannot hurt. If you cannot plug the dryer into a nearby 110V outlet you can derate the 220V outlet down to a dedicated 110V outlet. This is not a task to be taken lightly if you are not experienced. If you do take this course of action yourself, buy a book. Do it right or don't do it at all. Negligence could kill someone.
