What was it, exactly, that led you to think this is a 120V dryer?
2 hots for 240V heating elements, one of which also supplies 120V motor & timer 1 neutral for 120V motor & timer 1 equipment groundTotal 4 wires hence 4 prongs.

I am the OP
Today I switched the wires and found the dryer was set up for 3 wire. The ground strap WAS attached and the 4 wire had twp wires going to the ground strap lug in the center. Appears the dryer was made for 3 wire. I attached my wire from the old dryer the same as it was attached in the old dryer.
