I recently purchased a house for rental use.
The dryer receptacle is the 3 prong style.
If the tenant's dryer has a newer 4 prong cord set, should I change the receptacle, or offer to change the dryer cord?
If I change the receptacle, is there an acceptable way to wire it to the existing 3 conductor wire?
And if I change the cord, would the ground and neutral then be tied together inside the dryer?
Thanks!
