You need a 3 conductor #10 cable. A #10 wire is rated at 30 amps.
Probably not. The reason is the amperage required by the electric range. They typically require 50 amp whereas a dryer normally only requires 30 amp. Therefore, the wiring feeding the dryer is not large enough to support an electric range. Your range should be wired with #6 or 8 gauge wire, whereas your dryer is likely only wired with # 10 gauge which will not carry 50 amps.
no
If the cable you are trying to connect the dryer up to only has a white, black and ground wire, then the dryer is not going to work. The cable needs to be a three wire, the ground wire is never counted when discussing house wiring. Open up the electrical access panel on the back of the dryer. You will see a terminal block. A red and black and white connect to this terminal strip. The "hot" wires are connected to the outside terminals. The neutral (white) wire will be in the center. Connect the ground wire to the frame of the dryer. It is very important that this ground wire be connected as this is the wire that carries the fault current to trip the breaker should a fault arise.
in back of dryer u should have a block with three wires 2 blacks 1 green the one u are trying to wire up should have 2 black 1 green 1 white the white and green wire go in the midle post of the block on the dryer and the other 2 wires go to the out side posts of the block
Typically yes if you use a 30 amp breaker and the dryer uses 230-240 volts.
Normally AWG #10
normally 8 gauge wire is used for electric heat furnaces.

no. depending on length of run you'll need either 10 or 6 gauge wire for a 30 amp double pole breaker.

10-2 wire refers to 10 gauge, 2 conductor wire. Youshould use wire that is 10 gauge or larger (8 gauge, 6 gauge, 4 gauge, 2 gauge). The larger the wire, the more it will cost. most people install using the smallest size permitted, which in this case is 10 gauge. The are specifying the wire size to ensure that you do not connect the air conditioner to electric power using wire that is two small. If you are having problems with this type of question, you should consult an licensed electrician for help in connecting your air conditioner.
16 Ga wire is smaller than 14 Ga. The answer is absolutely NO!
use 4 gauge spade crimp connectors
I assume you mean you are wiring a 220 volt circuit. You will install a 220 volt double pole breaker of the correct size for the circuit. An example would be for an electric dryer that requires a 30 amp double pole breaker wired with 10/3 wire. You connect the Red & Black wires to the breaker. One on each screw. You now connect the White wire to the neutral bus bar in the service panel. Then connect the bare copper ground wire to the ground bus bar in the service panel. At the dryer outlet connect the black & red to the hot screws, white to the neutral, and ground to ground. They will be labeled on the back of the outlet.
