How can I fix my dryer??
I have a 220 receptacle that's only drawing 110, so it's enough to run the dryer, but not enough to run the heating element. Is there any way to figure out why it's not drawing the full amount without calling an electrician??
Only one side of the dryer is hot, so I'm only drawing 110 on a 220 receptacle. Any ideas how to check without calling an electrician?
If I am reading your question right you only have 110V. instead of 220 V. at the receptacle. Why are these "experts" telling you everything from getting a new dryer to buying new heating elements if the only problem you are having is the line voltage is not right?
On a rare occurence only one side of the breaker will trip leaving the other side of the line on. To reset the breaker you must turn it all of the way off by giving it an extra tug in the off position as sometimes just flipping it to the off position does not reset it.
If that doesn't give you full power turn the dryer Circuit Breaker off at the Main Breaker panel and check the receptacle by removing the cover. If it is a surface mount receptacle the screw at the center of where the prongs of the plug go is what holds the cover on. Inspect the connections in the box. If it is a flush mount receptacle with the breaker off remove the two mounting screws and pull the receptacle from the wall and inspect the connections there.
If the connections are good at the receptacle you will need to inspect the connections at the breaker. If you are not familiar with working in an environment with live line voltages stop here and call an electrician.
