Just bought a used dryer much newer than the old one.
Need to replace 4 prong plug with 3 prong. I know I will be replacing the
whole wire at the dryer end.
A site with pictures or advice from folks in the know?

TIA

All dryers are 208/220 for efficiency. You need the voltage to get the
amps for the heat. 4 wire is safer than 3 wire but is same voltage.

Well, I'd say you need the volts to get the watts. Actually cuts the amp
requirement in half, which is the major advantage.
