Hi everybody, I have what is probably a dumb question... I just moved into a new house that has a NEMA 14-30(grounded) receptacle for the dryer and my (approximately 4 year old) dryer has a NEMA 10-30(non-grounded) plug. My question is if I replace the receptacle with a 10-30 non grounded outlet will that be a problem? If not, what do I do with the unused ground copper wire? I also read somewhere in the posts that you can (possibly) replace the plug on the dryer. Is that a better option? Thanks very much... TM

Ok, I'm hitting a brick wall with this one. :wall: I'm quite sure I'm missing something obvious. (I'm an amateur, but can usually figure these things out) I have a light connected to a single-pole switch. Only one set of wires come to the switch, so I'm understanding it to be at the end of the circuit. I want to add a second light controlled by the switch-- so the switch turns on/off two lights simultaneously. I *thought* I just needed to wire the second light in series: Black (hot) comes into the switch, black from switch to 2nd light, white (black) from 2nd light to white (input). (the first black and last white are the two wires that were originally attached to the switch before adding the 2nd light) But it's not working. If I do this, the 2nd light is lit, and the original light is not, which totally doesn't make sense to me. If I put the 2nd light in parallel with the switch, it toggles between the two lights. I'm trying to avoid having to run more wires, but am thinking I need to run wires from the light in order to make both of them in parallel with the switch. Any thoughts? Thanks.
