I found a pretty good local deal on a very lightly used Little Buddy Dryer . The model number is LB09-3000c, which is the 240 volt version.
Good thing I didn't pay an electrician to upgrade my electrical before the dryer was delivered, because it looks to have a standard 3-prong plug installed and not the NEMA 6-20P that I was expecting. I questioned the seller about it, but he assured my that it was a 240 volt plug and that his shop has a lot of 240 volt equipment with the same plug. I was skeptical, but I'm no electrician, so I wasn't really up for the debate.
I already scheduled an electrician to come over Monday and upgrade my electrical but now I don't know.. After doing some online research, I'm 99 percent convinced that I have a 240 volt dryer with a 110 volt plug. Is this possible? Can I operate the thing as is using a standard 110v outlet? Or should I have a 240 volt plug installed?
I should also mention, in the Craigslist AD, the dryer was described as a 110 Volt dryer. It wasn't until I zoomed in on the photos and saw the model number that I saw that it was a 240V model and asked the guy about this.. He then said he put 110 V in the ad by mistake.
Let me know if you need photos or any further info from me and I'll be glad to provide them. Thanks in advance.
Cheers
