Default Dryer outlet problem


"MiamiCuse" wrote in message

I have a question on the 220V dryer outlet I have.

The outlet is a three prong outlet. The middle top one is straight slot,
the other two at the bottom are angled. My older dryer plug matches that.

My new dryer also has a 3 prone plug, but the top prone is a little "L
shaped" prong. Is this unusual does it mean I need a new outlet or some
adaptor?

Thanks in advance,

MC
Your newer dryer plug is a dryer plug. your older one, with the three
straight blades, is an range plug
