No. You will no longer be getting the correct voltage to the appliance. It should be replaced before using again.
NO IT CAN NOT BE REPLACED THERE IS INTERNAL ELECTONIC DIFFERENCES.
Sure i do
My question is WHY did you replace a four prong dryer plug with a three prong! 220 volt Electric dryers require two hot legs, a neutral and a system ground wire. Sounds as though you shunted one of the hots or the neutral. You need to install a four prong plug of the same configuration and wire it exactly as the original.
I don't know about an extension cord, but they do sell plug adabters. You can pick them up at any hardware store or even Wal-Mart. They are ussaully grey or orange , and look like the plug end of the extension cord. One end will have the 2 prong, the other side will have the slots to plug in the three prong.
It could be a loudspeaker polarised plug.
First, you need to turn off the electricity on that circuit at the meter box. Then, it is a matter of mechanically removing the remains of the plug. If you end up damaging the outlet, you will need to replace that, too. It depends on the type of plug that broke off as to whether you can replace it on the same wire.
Change the outlet to a grounded one. Get an adapter that goes from 3 prong to 2. Break the ground prong off. Any one of these will work.
A polarized plug can only fit together in one direction. This is to prevent reverse polarity in the device you are plugging in.
Buy a new receptacle that your plug fits in. You probably need one with a neutral so look for 125/240v.
Not in itself. Do not plug another three prong plug in the outlet until the broken prong (round-ish) is removed from the outlet. The third prong (round-ish) on a three prong plug is the ground. It does not carry any power.Correction"It's the power return"
there is a 2 prong plug under the glove box, wires are covered by a green sheath. If there is a second one with 4 wires that's the ABS tester.
THERE ARE ONLY THREE WIRES AND ONE SHOULDN T FIT THE OTHER ONE LOKS LIKE A SPEAKER TYPE PLUG THE OTHER IS FROM THE BATTERY THE OTHER WHERE ELSE... TO AND PROCAUTION JUST LOOK HOW AND REMEMBER WHICH ONE CAME OFF WHICH PRONG,JUST REMEMBER TO UNHOOK THE POSITIVE IN THIS PROCEEDER.AT THIS TIME IWOULD OBSERVE THE HOT WIRE FIRST FROM THE STARTER...GOOD LUCK
