I am planning on buying a washer and electric dryer. I currently have an air conditioning unit that uses a 250 watt oversized plug, which I planned to plug my dryer into. The fuze box indicates that its a 30 amp line, so it should be ok for the 30 amp LG dryer. The only problem is the plug configuration on the wall outlet. The outlet has one hole and two horizonal slots, similar to the one marked "6-30p" in this image:
However the common dryer cords you buy in stores have different looking male plugs, which obviously won't fit in the wall outlet I have.
I'd wanted to make my own cord anyway since I needed it slightly longer than the 6 foot length you can buy in stores. So I'm wondering is it possible to buy a male plug that'd fit the wall outlet I have and operate my dryer safely?
Thanks for any tips...
