Never change the receptacle type of a dryer for use with a range on the same wire and breaker. You could overload the wire and breaker, creating an electrical hazard.

They are the receptacles with a black and red button, test and reset. It works by being tripped when sensing current leak/imbalance in turn shutting of the power to the electrical device.
