Depending on the connection this scenario could happen. The 240 volt heating element of a dryer is connected to the two outside terminals on the dryers terminal strip. Also in this circuit is a thermal cut out that will open the circuit should the internal mechanisms of the dryer get too hot. The motor connection and the controls of the dryer are 120 volts. This means that the voltage is obtained from one of the 240 volt legs and the neutral connection on the dryers terminal strip. This connection is in between the two outside 240 volt connection points on the terminal strip. On a four wire dryer cord the fourth wire is the ground and should go directly to the chassis lug on the dryers frame. Turn off the breaker or unplug the dryer from its receptacle and check your wiring. Red and black wires on the outside terminals on the dryers terminal strip. It makes no difference whether red is on the left or right terminal. The white (neutral) wire is on the terminal between the two red and black or black and red wires depending on how you placed them on the terminal strip. The ground wire of course will be connected to the frame of the dryer. If this is the way the connections are made inside of the dryer it should work. If any work has been done on the wall receptacle make sure that the wire on the receptacle match the wiring inside the dryer.

Is a gas clothes dryer a heat producing appliance?
Yes, and not only heat but it does produce carbon monoxide also as a by product of combustion
How many watts does a hair-dryer use?
It depends on the model, if the hair dryer is a 1500 watt hair dryer, then it uses 1500 watts on high heat. If the hair dryer is a 2000 watt hair dryer, then it uses 2000 watts on high heat. Hair dryers come in all different size wattage, so it depends on the size wattage of the dryer. Most hair dryers are 1500 watts.
Why do socks stick together after being spun in the dryer?
Socks can stick together in the dryer due to static electricity buildup, heat, and moisture. When the socks rub against each other in the dryer, this can create static electricity that causes them to cling together. The heat and moisture in the dryer can also contribute to this effect, making the socks more likely to stick together.
Why does your dryer keep tripping the circuit breaker?
Electric dryers typically are 220 volts and need a 30 amp, 2-pole circuit breaker. A 15 amp breaker would quickly trip if overloaded with a dryer. You may need a wiring upgrade (to 10 gauge) and a new 2-pole breaker for 30 Amps. You should also not be using two separate breakers for one 220 volt circuit; they should be either one unit or two that have their handles mechanically connected together. Hire an electrician.
Can you use 40 amp breaker for a dryer?
You may use it but it's not safe to do so. The reason is,if a fault occurs in the dryer such that the current being drawn by the dryer increase but it's still lower than 40Amps,the current will heat the insulators of the electrical cord which will gradually destroy the insulator and in extreme case,it might burn the insulator causing fire.
What is wrong with Kenmore dryer that won't stay on and the motor makes a scratching sound?
Sounds like the motor is bad or the motor bearings are bad. This will create more resistance and will therefore create more current in the circuit. More current in the circuit will cause the overload to trip. This is for safety to prevent excess heat building up in the circuit which could cause a fire.
What wrong with my Frigidaire model FER311FSO it runs but no heat?
Replace the heating coil, now the dryer is not coming on when pressing the start button
Invented clothes dryer that used heat from a stove in 1892?
who invented the clothes dryer that used heat from the stove
How can I improve the efficiency of my dryer by using a dryer vent heat keeper?
Using a dryer vent heat keeper can improve your dryer's efficiency by trapping and recirculating heat that would otherwise be lost through the vent. This helps maintain a higher temperature inside the dryer, reducing drying time and energy consumption.
Why hair dryer work with bed room outlet but not work with gfci outlet at bath room?
It could be that the bathroom circuit simply has more on it so the hair dryer is pushing the circuit beyond its limit. In a typical bathroom, properly wired, this would not be the case. But if there are lights on the circuit other than in the bathroom (it would take a lot of lights for this to be a problem), or if there is a source of heat in the bathroom that is on, this may be where your problem is.
How does hair dryer transfer heat?
A hair dryer transfers heat when the heating element inside the dryer heats up, causing the surrounding air to also heat up. The hot air is then blown out through the nozzle of the hair dryer, helping to dry and style the hair.
How does the dryer heat diverter work to redirect heat and improve energy efficiency in a laundry appliance?
The dryer heat diverter works by redirecting excess heat from the dryer to help heat the room, reducing the need for additional heating. This helps improve energy efficiency by utilizing the heat that would otherwise be wasted.
What type of dryer may be used in the liquid line of a heat pump?
filter dryer
How do you clean a tumble dryer condenser box?
The Kenmore Gas Dryer will not heat and dry clothing.
What type of energy does a hair dryer begin with?
A hair dryer begins with electrical energy & converts into heat energy as well as kinetic energy!
What kind of energy transformation is used in a hair dryer?
In a hair dryer, electrical energy is transformed into heat energy. The electricity flows through a resistor or coil inside the hair dryer, which generates heat due to resistance, and this heat is then used to dry and style the hair.
Who invented the clothes dryer that used heat from a stove?
G T Sampson invented the clothes dryer
