So I have a dryer, and I have an outlet. Neither match. Do they make adapters for this thing, or should I rewire the outlet? What is the easiest and safest fix here? Here is the plug: Here is the outlet: Thanks guys.
Yea man, they make them things to be replaced, i just di one a few weeks ago......remove it from the dryer......take a pic of what you need or I did a drawing for mine and go to the Homedepot or lowes, they have em on stock for sure, maybe sears..........$20-30
Or you could do it real easy by just getting a 3 prong to 4 prong adapter. They're under $20 if I remember correctly. But, you could also just pull the drier out and replace the entire "pigtail", with the 4 prong "pigtail". But, the adapter is super easy and quick. Good luck
do what chris said, dont replace the cord end, go get a new recepticle, just because the appliance cord on your dryer will not fit well with store bought male cord ends. Get the recepticle that fits your dryers cord and and put that new one on. but by the looks of your dryer recepticle its the kind of unit you buy as a whole, so it might cause you grief trying to find a recep that will fit with that. if you have some issues feel free to pm me bud
I'd verify that you're going from the same amperage 1st. There are like 5 different 220 outlets/plugs depending upon the amperage. A 220 Oven plug/outlet is different than a 220 Waterheater (there are 2 220 water heater types I believe now) and there is also the 220 A/C, etc. Just be sure that the amp draw of the dryer matches the breaker/socket type before you adapt.
Like chris said those cords are made to be replaced, its a ten min job, even stoned. DONT SPLICE ANYTHING.
Thanks for the replies everyone. Never done this before, but from what everyone tells me it should be easy enough. This is my assigned weekend project. Thanks again all.
