In the USA dryers and electric stoves are connected to 240V, and use different plugs. I have never seen an electric dryer that operates from 120V.

- billswift 16y agoRanges are 240V and 50 Amps; clothes dryers are 240 V and 30 Amps. Both have 3 prong plugs that are much larger than 120 V outlets, the dryer plug has an L-shaped prong so it can't be inserted into a range outlet. (The reason you don't want the dryer plugged into a range outlet, is the internal wiring is inadequate for 50 amp loads, and can burn out without tripping the 50 amp breaker on range circuits.)
