Thank you! You saved me from getting a lecture for 45 minutes from my step dad on how I don't know how to do anything that I've never done before

Now this video I actually understand. It just shows you what to do for either scenario. The other videos gave me three credit hours toward a science degree but didn't tell me where to attach the freaking wires. I'm just trying to install this dryer so my girl will quit asking me about it. 😅

Hey man, thank you. I’m deathly afraid of electricity and don’t fuck with it at all. This made this so much easier and I felt safer. I know it’s not manly to be afraid of these things but I’ve been electrocuted as a child by a plug and I’ve been afraid ever since but my wife needed me to change the dryer cord. I appreciate your help.

Due to many wondering if the small wire connection instructions are correct: The small white or the green with the yellow stripe is the connection/jumper between the center neutral lug and the frame on 3 wire cords only. With a four wire cable you must not use that connection so the wire is put under the neutral screw to hold it out of the way. It is just connected to itself inside the unit. All other green wires connect to the metal cabinet frame.

Yep I learned by this video also re where to put the other white wire .. thanks ! Did you or anyone here have any problem with hooking up the green wire on green screw.? but my green wire does NOT reach to the green screw. Someone told me I can move the screw closer to another hole on back on metal on mach ? I know the green is the ground . I am scared to do that before I get advice.
