ninemode

first i would like to say hi to all of you, have a ? that may be silly. i just bought a dryer and the plug doesnt match the socket, its an old house by the way, i bought one that fits and there are 3 wires coming out of the wall, black, white , and a bare one, on the new socket has 4 locations for wires i presume. one says white the other green, the other 2 are not marked. any help would be great as this is my first home diy task

Ninemode,
You will need to change the cord on the drier. Ask where you bought the drier for a 4 prong cord. If this is all new stuff they shuld exchange it for you. If you are not sue about connecting the cord to the drier properly you should have a qualified professional do it for you.

follow the directions that came with the dryer. Since you have an older house with 3 wire, they should exchange the 4 wire plug for a 3 wire plug. Just ask if you have more questions!
