As posted below I agree, in days past THEY ONY RAN THREE WIRES (2 Hots and Equipment GroundING Conductor but NO NEUTRAL to some 120/240 appliances) and sure they worked fine and will continue to do so.
HOWEVER for safetys sake under later code they now run 4 wires (2 Hots, Neutral GrounDED Conductor, Equipment GroundING Conductor) to appliances that have BOTH 120 and 240 volt loads SO THERES A NEUTRAL FOR 120 VOLT LOAD RETURN CURRENT AND THERES A DEDICATED EQUIPMET GROUNDING CONDUCTOR FOR FAULT CURRENT ONLYYYYYYYYY
If it were me I would run a new seperate latest code approved branch circuit of 4 wires to the dryer insteads of using the old 3 wire circuit. Again thats 4 wires, 2 Hots (L1 and L2 Red n Black) 1 Neutral (White GrounDED Conductor) 1 Equipment GroundING Conductor). In the panel the hots wire to a two pole 240 volt breaker,,,,,,,,the White Neutral to the Neutral Buss,,,,,,,,the Bare/Green Equipment Ground to the Ground Buss.
Your home your choice and sure the old would work but in good faith and conscience I have to advise in favor of the new modern 4 wire circuit so youre NOT using the safety equipment ground to carry neutral return current for 120 volt loads THATS A MODERN NO NO AND VERY WICKED LOL
