Check you electrical box for a tripped breaker for blown fuse. If you are not comfortable with that call an electrician.

Im not getting 240v on the l1 l2 but im getting 120 on both neutrals

Sounds like the outlet is wired wrong. I would call an electrician.

@@fredsapplianceacademy thanks, a buddy told me to turn on the breaker without the dryer plugged in and sure enough it tripped on its own

[@freshprintz3356]

So this outlet should not be used for an oven?

[@fredsapplianceacademy]

Correct. If the neutral Is L shaped only rated for 30 amps.

My outlet don’t read it, it’s the outlet. It’s reading a 120v so I guess I’ll have to find outwhy
