Thread: Blabtrician?

  1. #1

    Default Blabtrician?

    Anybody

    A.) know anything about switching out a three-prong dryer plug for a four-prong?; or

    B.) have a recommendation for a local electrician who could make that happen?

    The Internet tells me this is a pretty simple procedure, but not simple enough for me.

    This is not an electrician job. If you don't get it handled I can run by. Or just bring the dryer to the Brew Pub.

    The problem that we're having is not the actual changing of the cord, rather, we can't get the cord strain relief piece off to remove the 3-prong cord. It's a 2-piece black thing on either side of the hole through which the plug goes into the dryer. It doesn't readily pull out and I don't see any screws or any means of removing it. Anyone know offhand how this is done?

    Sounds like it snaps together. Can you post a picture?

    Just saw this. Sorry so late.
