I just received a 1965 FRIGIDAIRE electric dryer from Smith's here in Hilo, Hawaii. It is in great condition with 2 speed tumble and sensor drying. It also has a dispenser to pour water in so you may sprinkle your pre ironed clothes as well as a step pedal to open the door.It runs only on electric (220 volts) and I need to know how to set the 110 volt plug up to test the unit since I have no access to any 220 volt outlet.no scratches or chipping anywhere!No rust either.Only dream of getting the matching Jet-Action washer with the original Roller-Matic Mechanism (no pullies,no gears,no belts)and 8 position Fabrics Selector.

Anyone here who would be so kind as to show me a written diagram on how to convert this temporarily to 120 using a 120 volt 3 prong grounded plug would be helpful in showing it to me. I must be having either those damned brain farts or a senior moment because I used to do this all the time at Home Depot to set the M'tags and LGs dryers up for display.thanks a lot!!!

120 VOLT DRYER HOOK UP
1 remove 240 volt dryer cord if still attached 2 remove center ground strap or green wire from center terminal 3 move red wire from terminal post and install on the other outer post with black wire. Now you can install a 120 three wire grounded heavy duty cord, use at least a 14ga cord 12ga is even better if you intend to use the dryer much. Attach the black wire to the post with the black and red wire, then attach the white wire to the center post with the white wire and last attach the green ground wire to the screw where the ground strap attaches to the cabinet or steel mounting bracket. Make sure all connections are tight and reinstall the cover plate and your done. If you are going to use the dryer much its best to connect it to a 20 AMP circuit with no other high current drawing appliances being used at the same time.
