WH did not make gas dryers until the straight front design, but many of their electric dryers could be used on 120 volt service. Maybe this one just has a 120 volt cord on it and the seller thought that it was a gas dryer. | ||

Probably about as fast as "Warm" setting on the Wards gas dryer by Norge that used a 1000 watt electric element to provide heat on the "Warm" setting. Of course, with the Norge's airflow, it might have been faster. | ||

So were WH dryers of this era manufactured to switch between using 120/220 volt by changing the wiring connections inside? If the dryer is currently set up for 120 usage is a simple connection change internally all that's necessary to use it on 220? Or did they manufacture two different lines of dryers: 120 & 220 volt?
