If you mean installing a plug in your wall for the dryer, I advise calling an electrician unless you know someone who is very experienced and confident with electricity. A dryer requires 220 volts of electricity, twice what most home outlets deliver. A line has to be run from each side of your breaker box through the wall to the where you want the outlet to be (110 volts from each side of your breaker box). If you go to a large home/hardware store, they can show you the right plug to use. Again, electricity is very dangerous, especially when you are working directly with the service panel (breaker box) in your house. Please be safe.

Probably not, the pin configuration of a 30A dryer plug should be different from a 15 or 20A A/C plug. The demand draw of a dryer is higher than that a A/C unit and would trip the 15 or 20A breaker. By putting a bigger breaker on the A/C circuit would not be a good idea either because the wire size to the A/C plug would then be under sized.

It should be in the main circuit panel. If the dryer was added at some point there may be a separate box just for the dryer either beside the main panel or at the dryer plug. It is not in the dryer itself.


Can you change a dryer plug to fit a regular wall plug?

Different plugs are designed so that you can't plug an appliance into the wrong voltage. A dryer is usually 220-240 Volts and your standard outlet is 110-120 Volts. You can't do what you suggest.
