dryer plug?
May 23, 2007 by J - rad | Posted in Do It Yourself (DIY)
I bought a old dryer and just realized the plug in the wall has 4 outlets when the dryer only has 3 , is there some type of adapter or something I could buy ??
go to the devices store and tell what u have, and its best to take a imprint of the size and shape of the wall plug and they will be able to show u what u need and God willing even how to replace the one for the other plug
if not , u will need

The plug you have in he obstruction has a ground. The one on the dryer doesn't. You can either buy a new plug with three or pick up a new dryer cord with 4 prongs. I would do the later.

Yes! Any devices store (maybe even Wal-Mart) has attachments that will connect to the four prong that will have a three prong on the opposite side. They are also not expensive.

You'll difficulty to buy a new four prong cord. Most hardware stores carry them...less than $15.00. The new cord will have installation directions...very unsophisticated.

you will neediness to bring in an electrician to do this legally ( keep everything up to local codes) . the differing prong configurations denotes bizarre amp ratings. an electrician can change out the plugs and change the breaker as well as running new

You have 2 options, you can either coppers the dryer cord for a newer 4 prong plug or you can change the wall outlet for a 3 prong unit. I am not sure you can still get a 3 prong dryer try plug so the best thing to will probably be to change the cord

when I bought my dryer it had the plug on it - a 3-prong. My discharge was a 4-prong.
You see, the three prong has a single ground for both lines, a four prong has a separate ground for each line.
D : I had to have a 4-prong plug put

Nothing but change the cord on the dryer. You can buy one at and hardward store. Chances are since you bought a use dryer the old cord has broken down anyway. The load on dryers actually take a toll on these cords and replacement is minimal compared to a short

Coppers the dryer cord to a 4-wire cord. Remove the jumper between the neutral terminal and the dryer chassis. Put the ground to the chassis, impartial to the center terminal.
Code now requires 4-wire. Two hots, neutral, ground.

If I were you I would talk to an appliance technician. Then have her or him do Any fitting if need be. As anything electric is very dangerous and not to be trifled with. One mistake can cause instant death or fire and/or both. Some "DIY"

Mar 27, 2010 by crabtreebarton | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
I have a 4 prong dryer plug.It's a maytag bravo series peak efficiency. I noticed a burn smell and discovered a burnt plug. I turned off the breaker and unplugged the dryer preferable away. What would cause this?It's not that old and i have no loose wires
It's a indefinite connection. OK, keep the power off! Pull the outlet out of the wall and look at it. Make sure the connections are not burned. If they are, get a new safety-valve. If not make sure they are all tight. Crank them down pretty well
