How do I convert LG dryer DLE3777W for operation on 220V from the original 120V?

I recently moved from the US to Australia. My LG dryer DLE 3777 W came with me. Bought a transformer, but it still doesn't work. How do I convert it to work on 220V? I'm an electrical engineer, so if I can get a wiring diagram of the electronic control unit, I will be able to fix it.|||Most clothes dryers work on 220/240 AC, which is what australia uses. The heater coils and possibly the motor are setup to run on the higher voltage. It probably uses 110/120 for the control circuitry, and that's what you need the transformer for.





.|||Your problem probably isn't voltage. Radio Shack sells adapter plugs, so you could just plug it into 120volts. But of more concern is the cycles per second, or Hertz. In Europe, they use 50 Hz., I don't know about Australia. There should be a label on the unit saying what it needs for volts, amps and hertz. And motors are sensitive to hertz. Also, the transformer should work. I am an industrial mechanic, and I worked with machines bought abroad. We would wire up a transformer to convert the voltage for heaters, and control. But the motor had to be ordered for the country of operation. I don't think your problem is in the ECU, unless it has some sort of supplying power circuit that's stopping it from operating. As an electrical engineer, I would think that you would have known not to move appliances from country to country.|||Why don't you contact LG here in Oz?


I don't see why a transformer would not have worked, especially as you are an electrical engineer.??


We have 50Hz system, though.


Are you sure you ran it on 120V in US? Not 220?|||Try the site below. I didn't go through the sign on process, so I don't know if it is free.|||sorry, but i fail to see why an electrical engineer would need to ask such an elementary question
