What is wrong if you changed a four prong to a three prong and the dryer is not heating?

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.

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.

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"
