The socket to my dryer show 230 volts and 2x 120 volts, but on the back of the dryer it shows only 115 instead of 230 and only 1x120. I have already replaced the cable to no effect. Can the socket be defective?

Clothes dryers run off of 2 breakers in your electrical box. Have you checked the breaker box? One of the breakers could be tripped.

Here is a website that is run by an electrician: ask-the-electrician.com/.../

It seems that these repairs are pretty advanced. If resettting the circuit breaker didn't help, you may be better off calling an electrician.
