3 prong dryer outlet

Been having some dryer problems, see electrical appliences forum if interested. I think now that it is more of an electrical problem than an applience problem. On this dryer outlet i get a reading across the black and red but nothing between the white and red or the white and black. I have a cheap voltage tester that just has lights that come on if there is current.. On the dryer when plugged is , I have the little light bulb comes on inside the dryer but other than that I have nothing.
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks
Griff

Shut off the breaker. Take the receptacle out of the box and check for loose connections.
