SAFETY FIRST: Make sure the plug isn't plugged into the wall socket before connecting wires to the dryer.

@Redneckia Ай бұрын

I took the old dryer out a few days ago and removed the cord. And I'd forgot which wire was ground. New dryer works, wife is happy, and life is good.

Can you explain why the white wire (previously the ground) needed to be connected to the neutral wite

@trevorhuntington6236 Жыл бұрын

It removes the bond from the cabinet to the neutral as it was previously when set up for 3 prong while isolating the ground so if there is a fault needing the ground the whole cabinet doesn't become energized. Electrons do not know wire color so you could potentially energize the whole neutral system in your house if you didn't isolate the ground circuit

do all dryers follow this same black-white-red pattern, left to right?

@bonzaitroll9926 8 ай бұрын

Thank you. Only thing inhave to say is the reason i came to the video was to verify black and red sides for wires since my manual did not cover. Tip: Look on the top side of the box and see what color cord is coming in from the top and connecting to the terminal. Thank you!

The wire grounded to the frame can be white or green depending on the model dryer. As long as the dryer is grounded, you’ll be in good shape. Thanks for watching!

Also I appreciate your straightforward approach, some of the other channels talk about "let's get this man-sh*t" done and other macho things, but um yeah girls own appliances too, so thanks for doing things simply and clearly so they are accessible for everyone :)

I have an older dryer that came with 3 prong chord. In the electrical box on the back of dryer, the internal ground wire (to the left) is green with yellow stripe, not white like I see here. When I install my 4 prong cord where will I place the green (with yellow stripe) wire that’s already on the dryer?

@TheAppliancePlug Жыл бұрын

The green and yellow wire should stay grounded to the dryer and you overlap the green wire on the power cord using the same screw that’s securing it. The ground wire is either white or green like yours. Make sense?

What if it don't come on after you finish what might be wrong?

@TheAppliancePlug Жыл бұрын

Double check your power cord installation, and after you confirm that, plug into outlet and make sure breaker is turned on. If it’s not an electrical issue, the dryer will need further diagnostics. It could be something like a bad door switch…
