Will my house explode?

[guaranteedBluff]

I just bought a new dryer and the now realize that the wall outlet does not match the dryer's plug (see below). Not sure if this means that I cannot use this dryer at all, or if there is some type of converter (or completely new cord) that I can pick up at a hardware store... any help is appreciated.



On my circuit breaker, there is this info:

"Max Mains Rating 125A
120/240 1 Ph 3 wire
120/208 3 wire"

don't screw with the a 220 plug... a short can start a small fire.

get a converter from your hardware store... about $15

go to the hardware store (ie home depot) and buy a new cord for your dryer. theyre cheap and easy to switch out. google "3 prong 4 prong dryer" cords if you need more help.
