    Default Slowing down a clothes dryer

    Hi folks,

    I need to slow down a conventional 220V clothes dryer to 1 rev/sec or a bit less. Is it possible to do that to these types of motors?

    My first thought was PWM, but this is most likely a 1/2HP AC motor (total guess).

    Only says Frigidaire on the front, nothing on the sides or rear except generic DON'T PEE ON 220V wanring label.

    My Creality Ender 3 S1 Plus is a giant paperweight that can't even be used as a boat anchor, cause I'd be fined for polluting our waterways with electronic devices.

    Not as dumb as yesterday, but stupider than tomorrow!
