Re: Will my house explode?
[ QUOTE ]
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. [/ QUOTE ] Hopefully yes. In the time took to post this you could have had an answer; seems like a trait evolution should breed out. J

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. [/ QUOTE ] This is the correct answer. 220V is not something to mess with. Just go to Home Depot and get the new cord, people have to switch them all the time.
