Hi. i recently moved, and the dryer hookup in the basement of the new
place is a "regular" outlet. My dryer has the three heavy gauge copper
wires and a three pronged plug with large and skewed prongs (By now
it's really clear that i have no clue about these things!). The
landlord refuses to install the same sort of outlet that this plug
requires & i can't afford to buy a new dryer. Is there a transformer
or converter that i could use to make this work? i don't use the dryer
very often, but with three children it's a necessity. Thank you in
advance for your help-

Does the landlord's outlet look like the one on the left?
If so, there is NO converter to adapt your dryer.

The landlord's space may have had provision for
a gas dryer, not the heavy load required by your electric dryer.
