Need help with my dryer !!!

I think this is a problem because the outlet for a dryer is usually 220, and most standard outlets are 110.

When you bought the condo did it say it had an electric dryer hook-up?

** My dryer has a 4 pronged plug -- I just moved into a condo that has a 3 pronged outlet in the wall!! **

The best (and likely proper) method would be to replace the wall outlet (possibly requirng running a different line to it). You may however be able to used the instructions at the following link for converting a 3 prong plug and cord into four, but in reverse?

The difference is the 4 wire plug on your dryer uses a dedicated ground wire and the 3 wire outlet shares the ground with the neutral. The 4 wire is safer and you should have an electrician replace the outlet in the condo with a 4 wire dryer outlet. You could change the cord on the dryer to a 3 wire outlet but I don't recomend it.
