Call a licensed electrician.
<><><>
As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

A 240V dryer requires a special type of electrical outlet called a NEMA 14-30 outlet.
A 30 amp dryer plug requires a special type of electrical outlet called a NEMA 14-30 outlet.
A 220v dryer plug typically requires a special type of electrical outlet called a NEMA 14-30 outlet.
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.
The recommended type of cord for connecting a dryer to a power outlet, considering safety and efficiency, is a 4-wire dryer cord. This type of cord provides better grounding and reduces the risk of electrical hazards compared to a 3-wire dryer cord.
To hook up an electric dryer properly, first, make sure you have the correct outlet and plug type. Then, connect the dryer cord to the outlet, ensuring it is secure. Next, attach the vent hose to the back of the dryer and vent it outside. Finally, turn on the power and test the dryer to ensure it is working correctly.
The brand or type of dryer does not have an effect on static, but if you are having problems, you should use fabric softener and/or dryer sheets.
Stackable washer dryer combination only requires one type of outlet. Both units run on 110v circuit. Therefore, only one outlet is necessary to plug both units into.
no, they are not connected however if gas is an option it is usually cheaper and most electric dryers require a special high voltage outlet. if you do not already have one installed it maybe best to go with the gas you have to weigh out the prices of installation. ie moving gas line if needed, installing 240v outlet (most cities require permit and licensed electricians $$$), and price of buying proper dryer good luck :)
To connect a dryer to a gas line, you will need a gas line adapter.
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.
