The reason might be a voltage or amperage mismatch between the two devices. Plugs and receptacles are matched sets depending on the voltage and the amperage of the devices. The configurations are done in this manor to prevent the wrong voltages being applied to wrong plug in equipment.
An old 2 hole receptacle can be changed to a 3 hole receptacle that will accept a 3 prong plug, provided a ground wire is available at the box and connected to the ground (green) lug on the new receptacle. A 2 hole receptacle has a hot and neutral wire, while a 3 hole receptacle will require a ground wire connection -- in addition to the hot and neutral wires.
The four blade dryer plug brings a separate ground wire from the machine to the electrical grounding system. The three blade dryer plug depended on the neutral wire of the plug to make this connection.
German appliances don't have three pinned plugs. The standards are the "Schoko" plug, which is a two pin plug with contacts on the side as a ground connection and the "Euro plug which is a two pin plug without a ground connection. There are adapters available at most good electrical stores.
A polarized plug can only fit together in one direction. This is to prevent reverse polarity in the device you are plugging in.
It's probably more difficult than you might expect. I'm assuming you have a NEMA 5-15R outlet, and you want to plug in a dryer that has a NEMA 14-30P plug at the end of its electric cable. The NEMA 5-15R outlet is by far the most common type of outlet in North America. It has two flat slots (hot and neutral), and a round safety ground hole. It is rated for 15 A and 125 V. On the other hand, most electric clothes dryers have an electric cable with a NEMA 14-30P plug on the end. It has two flat slots (2 hots from 2 different phases, each one 120 V from neutral, and each one rated at 30 A), an L slot (neutral), and a round safety plug. It is possible for an electrician to "fish" a electric cable carrying the necessary phases through the wall from the fuse box to that outlet, and then pull the old outlet and install a new outlet. If one merely did that last part -- pulled the old outlet and placed a new outlet -- without the proper electrical cables in the wall behind it, then the dryer would probably blow the fuse at the fusebox every time it was turned on.

The plug may keep falling out of the outlet due to a loose fit caused by worn-out prongs on the plug or a loose outlet socket.
A polarized plug can only fit together in one direction. This is to prevent reverse polarity in the device you are plugging in.
To change a dryer plug to fit a different outlet type, you will need to purchase a new plug that matches the outlet type, disconnect the old plug, and connect the new plug following the manufacturer's instructions. It is important to ensure that the new plug is compatible with your dryer and the outlet to avoid any electrical hazards. If you are unsure, it is recommended to consult a professional electrician for assistance.
All three prong dryer cords should fit all three prong outlets. Dryer and stove plugs are different but as long as someone didn't use one in place of a dryer cord, there isn't a problem.
It uses 4 double a batteries.

Yes, you can use US plugs in Japan with the help of a plug adapter. Japan uses a different type of electrical outlet, so you will need an adapter to fit your US plug into a Japanese outlet.
Plugs may fall out of outlets due to worn-out prongs, loose connections, or a poor fit between the plug and outlet. This can happen over time with frequent use or if the outlet is damaged.
The wiring harness from the 1999 stereo has a 21 prong plug and the 1995 has a 14 prong plug you can purshase a harness from Honda but it has to be hadrwired to the exsisting wiring but don't screw it up, go to Honda and get a wiring diagram for the both of them to match up the wiring you need to make it work.
