Generally a stove is a 30 Amp plug and receptacle.
A dryer is usually a 50 Amp plug and receptacle.
If you put a dryer "pigtail" (cord with plug) on the stove, you could use the dryer receptacle.

Dryer outlets are typically 30amp, and range outlets 50amp. If you do put a dryer pigtail on the stove, you'll have to avoid using the full capacity of the stove. Having all the surface elements on while using the oven will probably trip the circuit breaker. Not that that would be a common occurrence They use 50A circuits for a reason and I would not recommend using a dryer outlet. On the other hand, electric cook tops use a smaller service,its been a while since I put one in, but I think it was 30A, If you are making what is often called in the US a "mother in law apartment" you might get by without an oven. For a single person using a toaster oven can be sometimes be more efficient than heating up a large oven anyway.

Sears has them. So will maximum domicile shops yet as pronounced they may be in the utility area. extra moderen ones could have a fourth prong that's an earth floor. in the previous you grounded the dryers one by one with a green twine to a pipe. The "L" formed prong designates a 30 amp provider which is going the dryer wiring. the three rapidly prongs are for fifty amps, like a variety. opposite to the suggestion of the different poster that suggested they replaced the outlet to verify their twine, it truly is unlawful to place a 50 amp outlet on the 30 amp dryer circuit.

Yes, you can plug the stove in to that outlet. You would be looking for a "thicker" plug to put it in as that denotes the amount of wattage it is capable of putting out.

That outlet is called a 220v outlet. If the stove has the same kind of plug you are good to go, plug it in.

Well both should be a 30 amp . All the one I put in are 10 gauge wire.And passed inspections. Check the breaker if 30 amp your fine . You can swap the cord or the plug which ever you feel good about.

Yes you can if the plugins are the same, some bulltails are different, as an owner of an electrical business they both work off 220 volts. Good Luck!!

Usually the prongs on the plugs are different in configuration in the two appliances, even though they may both be 220. Beyond that, plugs/prongs can also differ on the same appliance from different manufacturers.
