A qualified electrician should make the change to a dryer connection. The best way to cheaply make the change is to change the power cord on the dryer to the three hole standard.
Is it a plastic prong sealed together
Sure i do
The 3rd round plug is the ground connection.
NO - it is not safe to do that. A GFCI breaker is only a secondary safety device and your primary safety still depends on the earth wire in a 3-pin supply.
There is not enough information stated as to what you are trying to do.
The equipment grounding conductor is attached to the rounded prong in a three prong plug. Electrical work is dangerous, call a qualified electrician to install. Improper wiring could lead to personal property damage, you or someone else being injured or killed!
buy a 3 prong cord and plug set at lowes or home depot and change the cord on the appliance.
Under the new electrical code rules three prong dryer cord receptacles and therefore cords are not allowed to be installed. As you are finding out, stores are not carrying them in stock any more. You should consider an upgrade for safety sakes, to a four prong plug cord and change the wall receptacle to a four prong receptacle. There are instructions on how to do this your self on Answers.
His behaviour caused alarm bells to ring in the officer's heads.I need a new alarm clock because I threw mine against the wall again.The early warning alarm saved thousands of lives.
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.
A three-prong 120 Volt will work just fine.
