Im working on a house for a friend and he has a 4 wire 240 v line going to his dryer. The plug from the new dryer is a 3 wire plug. The dryer is running and seems to work ok but is not getting as hot as it shoud to dry the cloths. Can anyone tell me if we need to change the three wire plug from the dryer or if this is ok? :whistling2:

Tell your buddy to hire an electrician.

Yeah, it should be four prong. That fourth wire is just jamming up the electrons.

When I say work I mean drink beer and paint walls. I need to know if we need an electrician to look at it. The cable in the dryer does not have a seprate ground like the outlet.

Probably forgot to hook up the water line

Thanks B4T!! Guess I should have gone to Vo-tech for 6 months in high school so I could be as smart as these other guys.
