I was amazed when I found out that the timer and motor in a dryer was
120v. Since these are purpose built for the dryer application I
assumed they would be 240v.
You'd think - and with today's solid state controls you'd think
they'd just run the transformer off the 240 too - but nope - it's all
on the 120 too.

Even on the stuff made by European and Asian companies - so they are
not "world market"

I bet these days the electronics use a wide mouth switcher supply and
don't care about voltage
You'd lose the bet. I just scrapped out a Samsung washer due to a
broken drum spider, and the electronics run off one side of the 240 -
That was mabee 6 years old.
That doesn't mean the card would not run on 240
There is a transformer that says 125 volts on it, si I'm pretty sure
the "magic smoke" would be released at 240V.
