Several commercial amps place the fan, filament. and relay/bias supply 
across one winding with no apparent problem.

It is amazing that millions of dryers had been built with the motor wired 
from one leg to ground before the nanny state got wind of it. Lots of 
commercial ham amps also tht are still in sevice using the same concept.

##  I have never seen a clothes dryer that did not have a neutral in it...
to run the 120 vac motor.  Dunno why they didn't use a 240 vac motor..and
called it a day.    Everything here has a neutral.... with the one exception
being a hot water tank. 

## the grnd is for fault current only.   You can't buy any wire here..with out the
grnd.  The grnd wire is not counted when u ask for wire either.   You ask for
3 x wire material.. and it comes with 4 x wires. 

Folks south of me have had their plumbimg apart.. then got electrocuted.. when they cut a 
section out, not realizing that one coppe tube had 120 vac on it... as soon as the cu pipe was cut.
