Renosteinke said: Not every dryer uses 220. Perhaps someone will submit a pic of a "single pole" dryer :-) Reno, I have a 110 volt single-pole dryer. It's a "compact" unit and they're sold under various brand names. The thing is about waist-high. I don't know who manufactures them, however. http://www.whirlpool.com/catalog/product.jsp?src=DRYERS&cat=119&prod=314 My mom has the same machine....just under a different brand. I think her's is Whirlpool, while mine is Crosley. The only difference is the quality of the trim and finish.

From the link Sven posted: Electrical Requirements
15 OR 20 Ampere, 120 Volts, 60 Hertz (1/second). AC-ONLY. USE COPPER WIRE ONLY. A FOUR-WIRE OR THREE-WIRE, SINGLE PHASE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY REQUIRED. A TIME-DELAY FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER AND SEPARATE CIRCUIT IS RECOMMENDED I don't get it. What does a 4 wire 1Ø 120 Volt circuit look like?

How about a dedicated isolated ground receptacle outlet ? One hot, one neutral, one isolated ground, one equipment ground conductor to ground the box.

Very Nice!! ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/biggrin.gif) (Maybe we went a little off course by suggesting that the installer read the directions) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/wink.gif)

Electure: Yah....good question. Considering my little dryer plugs into a standard two-pin plus ground socket. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/confused.gif) Maybe sometimes reading the instructions isn't the best idea?

Read the instructions??!! What, and ruin all the hours of fun and frolics; the tools hurled at the wall, the muttered expletives, the pieces broken off from trying to force assembly, the missing parts on a Sunday morning, the wife's sarcastic remarks? I just realised from the above link; the 'dryers' you're talking about are called 'tumble-dryers' in the UK, or seche-linge (linen-dryer) in Fr. Alan
Wood work but can't!

Alan: you completely forget all the fun that comes from reading manuals that come with far-eastern goods! Unfortunately it seems like the English versions are _usually_ a lot better (i.e. correct English) than the German versions... but still there are lots of goodies around.

Funny thing in my area, the inspectors are pretty good, their seems to be one thing they always ask for on dryer installs, and that is the manufacture installation manual, so what we do is leave the manual on top of the dryer.
