Default Dryer Outlet
If the dryer is not present in a home. Do you test the receptacle for power? Thanks.

I test the 220 if the dryer is not hooked up, or if the dryer is gas and the 220 is accessable.

I beat you to that question. See this thread:

"as far as i know (and in my report) it states that a "represented" number of outlets, switches and windows and doors are tested. not EVERY SINGLE ONE. i'd guess that would cover my butt if the outlet wasn't tested, and tunded out to be dead.....i hope."
That was my thinking. It was a simple mistake not testing the outlet to begin with. Lesson learned.
