What is the difference between a 4 prong dryer outlet and a 4 prong stove outlet?
The four blade dryer plug brings a separate ground wire from the machine to the electrical grounding system. The three blade dryer plug depended on the neutral wire of the plug to make this connection.
If not using your electric stove outlet and have a gas stove can you service your lower level under the kitchen of a back-split using the 240V service line to create a subpanel for lights and outlets?
Depends on the size of the conductor to the outlet. Most common is my neck of the woods is 10AWG for range service in newer homes with a 30 or 40 amp breaker (double pole) at load panel. Some older homes use 12AWG with 20amp breakers. Keep in mind the total wattage that would be consumed when all the lights and appliances connected to the circuit are energized. The answer is yes but make sure you use the appropriate size breaker at your sub for the wire size being used as your feed and don't replace the existing breaker at the load panel with a larger one.
What is the most cost efficient and quick way to fix the problem if you have a stove that has a four-prong cord and an outlet that only takes three prongs?
To fix this issue, you can replace the outlet with a four-prong outlet that matches the stove's cord. Alternatively, you can replace the stove's cord with a three-prong cord that fits your current outlet. Both solutions are relatively quick and cost-effective fixes for the mismatched prong configurations.
How to tell if 1964 240 V stove plug is tripping the circuit breaker or is the circuit breaker bad?
To determine if the stove plug is tripping the circuit breaker, plug the stove into a different outlet with the same voltage rating. If it doesn't trip the breaker, the issue may be with the original outlet or circuit. If the stove still trips the breaker, it may be a problem with the stove itself. If the circuit breaker seems problematic, consult an electrician to diagnose and fix the issue.
