Question: what is the difference between a range outlet and a dryer outlet?
Answer: It's very easy to tell the difference between a 3-wire range plug and a 3-wire dryer plug. Both have three prongs. The two flat prongs closest to the cord are “hot,” each feeding 110/120 volts to total 220/240 volts to the range or the dryer. ... The third prong on a range plug is flat like the other two.
