Something is wrong with this picture.
30A breaker ending in a 15A outlet? If one of the slots is sideways, it is a 20A. Still not right and could be dangerous.
Is that a single or double pole breaker?
Was there once an electric dryer there?
As for now, just plug into a 15 or 20A outlet with a dogbone until you know what’s happening with that dryer outlet.
Yes I agree, the explanation doesn’t make sense. A natural gas dryer will use a 20A circuit. So if it looks like a standard outlet it is more than likely 110V 20A (possibly even 15). However there are some outlets that look like a standard 110 outlet that are actually 220. I think you need to do some more research on what you actually have.
