Is it possible to hook up a 240V dryer to a 120V outlet via some sort of power converter?

No. You need to have a 220 outlet. Your 110 has only 1/2 the voltage you need. Also, the question you ask is not really feasible. The wattage required by the heating elements is more than what a 110V line could handle. (110V outlets and 120V outlets are practically the same for this discussion. I will refer to them as 120V. Same with 220V/240V outlets.) By 110V outlet I'm assuming you mean a standard US 120V 15A outlet. This outlet can provide a maximum of 15A at 120V. This means the outlet can provide 1,800W of power. ( Volts x Amps = Watts ) This is the maximum amount of power this outlet can provide, no more. Also, this is assuming nothing else is drawing power off the circuit this outlet is on. If you try to pull 1800W from an outlet and plug anything else into this circuit, the breaker will blow. Your dryer is designed to run off a 30A 240V circuit. Let's say, for argument, it draws 24A at 240V. This means your appliance requires 5,760W of power to run correctly. This is 3.2 times the absolute maximum amount of power your 120V outlet can provide. There is no way you can run this appliance off this outlet. You have a larger problem here than the voltage difference. NO WAY One person has said "homes are not wired 110v, they are wired 220v. if you put a 2 pole breaker (or 2 pole fuse, if it's a fuse panel) in the panel, you will get 220v." Although it may be partly true, it does not answer the question. The related questions explore the amount of power needed for a dryer, which cannot usually be supplied through the wiring for a 110 V outlet. So, in general, the answer is no. You will need to run a different set of wires from the breaker/fuse panel to the location where the dryer is to be installed, and use a 2-pole breaker and the proper dryer outlet. You could, in theory, but the transformer would weigh more than the dryer and cost at least 4 times as much as a new dryer. The circuit would also have to be upgraded to at least a 60 amp 120volt outlet. Very impractical.

Motorola digital cable box?

Can cold weather effect an led TV?

Operating and Storage Temperatures

LED TVs -- which, remember, are actually LCD screens [back or edge lit by LEDs] -- have a broad operating temperature range. For example, Samsung advertises an operating range between 50 and 104 degrees Fahrenheit for all its LCD screens, including those with LED backlights. LG advertises a similar range of 50 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit. The storage temperature range is even wider. While a Samsung LED TV may not operate well in temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit, they can be safely stored in temperatures as cold as -4 degrees and as high as 113 degrees Fahrenheit.

Which type of television has the longer life span LCD or Plasma?

== == Hi,

That's relatively easy to answer. It's LCD. Since I worked on them for the last couple of years, I've personally decided that Plasma sets tend to break down much faster than LCD sets.

Even LCD sets don't last as long as a CRT TV without developing problams of one type or another.

Here's the problem as I see it: Planned obsolescence. I personally believe that manufacturers are going for a four to six year designed lifespan of a TV set, but they can't seem to get there, yet. Because it's a new technology, many of the problems will always show up the first few model years, and unfortunately, it's an expensive purchase for something in my opinion isn't dependable.

If you do decide to buy a high tech TV, buy the extended warranty with it. It's your only protection against some very expensive repairs if you have to shell it out of your pocket.

I've got a 27" Hitachi set that's 12 years old and it's still running strong. What I don't know, is what I'd buy once it goes out. There's nothing on the market today that I'm even remotely interested in purchasing simply because of dependability issues.

Hope this helps,

Another View I work at a consumer electronics store which has it's on service department. The true answer depends on the manufacturer. As rated by consumer reports flat panel failure rates are equal no matter which technology. Tube televisions have twice the failure rate. If you go by manufacture ratings you will see that the Panasonic plasma has the longest lifespan. It is rated at 100,000 hours. 40,000 more then the nearest rated LCD. However if you break it down by repairs vs sales Panasonic plasma's tie with Samsung and Sony LCD's as equally reliable. Even though Sony is not in the plasma business anymore I own a five year old plasma that is as beautiful as the day I purchased it and it did not suffer from the same first year drop off in color and brightness as my Sony LCD and Sony projection. Plasma's tend to wear even like a CRT.

For my money and seeing that the trends lean towards even reliability, I would go with a Plasma rated at 100,000 hours over an LCD.

Yet another sat receiver hacking question?

Do your research on the 'net. It's all there, but you need to actually take the time to read what people are writing, rather than ask questions. This isn't the forum for finding information about illegal activities such as satellite receiver hacking.

What is a cable converter?

A converter is a device that collects all the available channels from the cable company and puts it into an RF signal on a particular channel. Some converters can even change the signal to a "Video" format which can then be attached to a VCR for superior picture. A converter cannot be used to receive premium channels which are scrambled as by itself it is just a channel changer and not a descrambler. You can get all the basic channels with a converter if your TV is not the cable ready type. But if you add a descrambler to your converter, you can then access all the scrambled channels. You can get a converter from your cable company and attach a descrambler to it or you can purchase both the devices on your own and use them to access channels. However, it is illegal to not inform the cable company that you are receiving their signals.

How do you install a digital heater control in a 1990 Chevy Cheyenne if the one in it now is not digital?

well the forst thing I would do is NOT even attempt this. your non digital setup is not wired at all for this so EVERYTHING in the system would need to be changed because the digital uses a logic board and the other does not. unless your a very good engineer or plan to redo all the wiring to make it acceptible for computer components i would say just leave well enough alone. many streetrodders use modern digital in the rods but its real difficult unless you have an new harness or alot of friends with patience. if you insist on this project maybe try to find another truck that was totalled and maybe you can get the harness. good luck.

What is the number for RCA TV technical support?

I could give you the number, but I can tell you right now that unless you're a registered dealer or TV technician, all they're going to say to you is, "Call an authorized repair service." They're so busy working with the technicians that they literally don't have the time to answer consumer's questions.

Where do I get through the firewall on a 2004 Hyudai SantaFe to connect aftermarket amplifier?

If you can't find a safe way to snake a wire through the firewall, try going in from under the front or back seat area. Drill a small hole and use a tight fitting rubber grommet. Who says it has to go through the firewall anyway.

How far does a digital tv signal travel from a tower?

That truthfully depends on the transmitter's transmitting power, height of the transmitting antenna and the terrain.
