You'd need a whole new circuit and your power box probably could not
handle it. You would need to hire an electrician and in a mobile home it
might not be possible at all.


Sell your electric drier and buy a gas one. Possibly a used appliance
store could work out some kind of a trade.

Likely cheaper both short and long turm to buy a gas dryer. Espically if
you have a natural gas feed.

Very possible that it would be more feasible to buy a gas dryer.
But it depends on if it's nat gas, propane, cost of the fuels, etc
You can't just convert a 120V outlet to 240V. It not only needs to
be 240V, it also needs wiring that will support the much higher
amps for the electric dryer. How much that cost depends on where
the circuit panel is relative to dryer, if the panel can support
the additional amps, if there is space for another breaker, etc.
Best case is the service supports it, the panel has an available
slot, and it's located near the dryer. Then it might only be
a couple hundred bucks to get an electrician. Worst case, it could
easily be 5X that.

A transformer should be able to do it, if your electric supply can stand twice the current at 110v that the dryer requires at 220v. I don't expect that it can it a mobile home, though. See your local electrician for details.

NO!!


Work out the numbersto see the folly in trying to supply power to your
dryer:

most 110 outlets are 15A, some now at 20 A, total power = 1725W to 2300W

The 'equivalent current for THAT supply at 220 is 7.5A to 10A

Now does your dryer run on 10A, well, yes, run, but NOT dry.


Work the other way
220 at 30A means 60A at 110V, hmmmm 60A guess you could use welder's
cabling, right?


About the transformer, you'd be surprised how 'light' the transformer can
be using a 110 to 110 it only needs to be rated at 110V and what you're
supplying at 220, or in this case 4kVA. Why? draw it out, you'll see.

Hmmm, a 120v 60 amp circuit and an 8 KVA transformer?

Yeah right.


That transformer will be less than 100% efficient, so you'll need more
than 60A. Also, will you need #4 wire?

Ignore all the wacky suggestions of a transformer. Short answer, you can't "convert". You need a 240v 30amp circuit and outlet installed. New wire from the circuit breaker box to the location. Probably not terribly difficult if you can get under the mobile home.

In a mobile home, it might be easier to get the power from the power

pole outside. Usually a mobile home space has the service disconnect

and meter if present there.

You may have a spare breaker slot in that meter/main or you can find

an electrician who understands feeder taps.

This won't be a handyman.

I'd shy away from that. I think doing that turns the main panel into a sub and you'd have to go into it and separate the ground and neutral. Running wire under a mobile home is fairly easy.

The problem is that you all never read enough Popular Mechanics.

What the OP should do is get a plug-in transformer, meant for a toy or
radio or something, AC output, and get a 6 to 220 volt transformer.
That way it will use less current, because those little transformers
only use an amp or two. All of you have been brainwashed by the
electxric company, which claims you need 60 amps for a dryer. One amp
is plenty.

You prolly need a 2-phase transformer cuz traitor4 says 240v is 2-phase.

No no no....Those one amp transformers cannot run an electric drier but
if you have a long enough extension cord, can power those futuristic

Be sure you get the right hertz. In USA, we are
needing 60 hertz transformers, in Canada, the
transformers are 50 hertz. Older transfomers in
the USA are 60 cycles per second, which works
OK now, also.

You need both 110 and 220 to run an electric dryer, 110 for the motor to turn the drum and 220 for the heating coils. Just having a 2-prong 220 volt won't do the job, you need a 3-prong outlet to send the proper voltage where it's needed.

You could, in theory, convert a 110 volt outlet to 220 volts by moving the white ground wire from the ground buss in the box to the other hot line, giving you 220 volts, but then you run into all the other objections with amps, watts, wire gauge, etc. Not a good idea, because if someone unknowingly plugs the vacuum cleaner into this converted outlet, it will probably burn out. Or up.

I actually had something like this happen when I worked in a small manufacturing plant.

An electrician installed an extra outlet in my office. The custodian burned out two vaccuum cleaners, didn't tell me until later. But I needed to drill a hole for some reason I no longer remember, and it ran REAL fast. So I put a meter on the outlet.

Sure enough, he'd tapped the lighting circuit instead of running a circuit. I had 277 V, the standard leg-to-neutral industrial lighting supply.

Ignore all the wacky suggestions of a transformer. Short answer, you can't "convert". You need a 240v 30amp circuit and outlet installed. New wire from the circuit breaker box to the location. Probably not terribly difficult if you can get under the mobile home.

Maybe the folks in the trailer alongside you get their 120 volts from
the opposite phase of the 240 volts, and you could string one wire from
their trailer to yours to get what you need to run your dryer.

Just kidding folks, but back around 1953 I actually did something
similar. I ran a 240 volt air conditioner in my college dorm room using
one lead from the hot side of an outlet in my room and the other (out
and in the windows) from the hot side of an outlet in the room next
door. Worked just fine and we never got caught for the whole school year.

There's no such thing as 210v. Try 220 or 240.
