I was about to give up with installation of the 4 prong wire until I found your video...You’re video made things much easier..Thank so much!

Husband and I watching in 2024 and got our dryer hooked up. Thank you!!!!

Finally someone makes a great video wires explained...

Awesome, with one exception: the clamp is supposed to clamp down on the black outer cord covering. It's thickness is made to protect inner wiring, and the heavy duty material of this protective layer can endure clamping pressure, but the inner wires will allow the metal clamp to ware through over time. When clamp wares through, then you have hot wires touching the metal appliance, which can be fatal.

After watching many videos on how to do this, the GE dryers are different than others and your video helped us finish off the green wire. Thank you!

Thanks for this video. I ordered a brand new dryer and really didn't know much. This is a clean walk through

Good Morning!! My wife and I just bought a new GE yesterday and had no clue that we needed to buy a power cord. I thought it was the door, opened it and thought...Nope that's not it!!! Took back off computer part and found out it was there either. Because thats where old dryers had plug. So thank you for clearing it up and making sure I know where I need to put each wire. Awesome explanation. You are my new appliance guru!!!

Son says major thanks man you just "saved his bacon" on 4 prong install!!!

I seriously cannot say THANK YOU enough!!! My mom and I have spent 10 hours today on this washer/dryer adventure. We had a stacked combo and the dryer went out so we thought it would be easy to just go get a new dryer and keep using the washer that's part of the combo. Once we got home with the new dryer, we realized that the combo also uses a 4 prong plug and so does the new dryer obviously. Our laundry room only has one of those outlets. We had to go back to the store and ended up just buying a washer to go with the dryer. Got home and couldn't even get the washer inside. It was pouring down rain (hoping it actually works- we haven't tried yet). A neighbor walking by helped us get it inside. We tried to drag the stacked combo out of the room and ended up having to take the entire door off the hinges. Now we just got finished watching your video to set our dryer up. Going to plug it in then get the washer hooked up. We might be referencing another one of your videos soon! It has been a DAY. Thank you for the tutorials. I have no idea what I'm doing, but I am very thankful for KZfaq and for you!!

Thank you so much! Your the only video that I could find that touched on every piece. Very thorough and knowledgeable. I'm a newly single mom and had not a clue on how to do this, so a humongous thank you to you!

I have watched several videos of how to change my 3 to a 4 on a hotpoint your video is the only one that really helped me! Here goes!

Thanks for uploading this video saved me hours of trying to figure out which wire goes where especially the green wire but all set and done our dryer now running appreciate you

Thank you brother you saved my life. The new dryers from Lowe’s do not come with power supply cord. Took off the 4 prong from my old dryer. Followed your steps and now everything is golden. My wife is happy and now back to Alabama football #RTR

Thank you so much for including what to do for different scenarios. It was extremely helpful and I have no doubts that our brand new dryer is hooked up correctly and will hopefully last us for years to come. 😊

Thank you! First time bew home owner, and my daddy has long passed. The used dryer was a gift I am grateful for, and this helped me out SOOO much!! Thank You!!!!

Was having a hard time trying to ground the green wire... I am SOOOOO grateful I found your video ❣️

This was so helpful im a single mom been divorced 3 years and im still learning how to do things on my own. I was almost in tears thinking I couldn't do it

I literally went through at least 10 other videos and then I found yours! Thank you for this video! I wasn't sure where to place the green ground wire. You answered that for me.

Thank you so much! I was so stressed out about trying to do this and you made it so easy. Following for more excellent information

Thank you for making this video! I've been trying to figure out how to do the 3 to 4 wires all day and finally found this video and was able to figure it out!

Thank you for your video. It'ds been a rough couple of months trying to find a new place. When we finally got a place 1 day before becoming homeless. A week later we go and get our washer and dryer from storage just to find our we need to change the cord. Your video made it seem so much more simpler than the manual. Thank you soo much for providing a little relief of happiness for clean and dry clothes and blankets. Merry Christmas.

This video made swapping my plus SUPER easy! You saved me a TON of valuable time & for that I am grateful!

Thank you. You just helped me replace a three prong plug with a four prong plug.

Thanks for the video. My father n law use to do stuff like this for me, since he passed away I have to figure it out. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for your informational and very helpful video. I was able to hook up my new electrical dryer ..my 19 year old dryer finally gave out for the first time since I bought it. It was a great dryer 😢 I got my money's worth at least. I have just replaced it and it was a bit intimidating having to set up and wire my new one. This video helped me NOT kill myself trying‼ 😳🤣 Thanks to your vid its all good to go now!! I just hope it lasts me as long as my last one did. Thing just arent built to last like they used to be.

Dude thank you there a lot of videos from 4 to 3 but many and good explanation on from 4 to an very old 3 dryer . 👍🏽

First time home owner as well and was able to get this done fairly quickly cause of you thanks for this video my guy! ❤

This video helped me get my dryer working properly in my new home. Thank you for making this video

This was so helpful to my boyfriend and me who just moved into a new house! Thank you!

Thank you so much for the instructions… I had an idea of how… you gave me confidence 😘

This video helped me so much installing my dryer today ❤ thank you

I did it!! Thank you!!! I think I may have put the bumpy side down. I did put the ground in the old hole. Should I move them?

Thank you! Your video was so helpful! Appreciate it

Thanks so much for the easy to follow video.

Very nice. This is what I will be attempting to do tomorrow.

Thanks for this post .Will make doing this much faster .

So the top and bottom are 115v each and the middle white to ground for a 3 wire. Red, yellow, black, thanks your video cleared things up.

Life saver for GE, thanks

Thanks! Great installation video.

Mine look just like this thank you soo much for making this!!

Awesome explanation! Was stumped till I came here coz I couldn’t understand most videos (no offense to anyone). Subscribed!

Lifesaver! Better than the Best Buy Geek Squad assistance.

This was incredibly helpful. Thank you!

This is golden info. Love it

Thank you, simple explanation

Exactly what I needed. Thank you very much!!

Thanks for this video, exactly what I needed! Almost lost it when I saw I four wires instead of just the original 3😅

Like the other people commenting, I am so thankful. I was the person that believed had to get another dryer. I ahead already begun looking. The only question I have is where to buy the cord. Will Home Depot have the part? Sometimes they are not knowledgeable- even when you show them a video they can be like. “I didn’t know you could do that״.

Really thankful for the video

Thank you! Had no clue how to do this!

Thank you!

Exactly what I needed. Thanks

Thank you

Thanks! Big help.

Had a good guess. Just wanted confirmation thanks

Huge help. Thank you!

Thanks a lot!

You helped so much!! Thank you

Thanks so much for this super helpful video! I’m turning into a handy woman lol. That’s what happens when you’re a single women having to figure stuff out! Thanks again!!

Your the man... keep up the good work

You are a lifesaver: Thank you.

Thank you for this video, it was extremely helpful! No idea what to do to make this exchange. However, my machine did not have the link so I did not have the green ground screw. Can I just buy one?

Thank you so much!

Thanks!

This helped lots!

This video has some good info but after following the instructions & converting my new to me GE dryer it would not work Luckily my daughter is engaged to a very helpful maintenance man who was able to figure out the ground was incorrect He re-installed the jumper on the neutral Now it’s working great

Outstanding video 👍🏿👍🏿

THANK YOU, SIR.

Great video.

Brilliant Video! Question if I do not have the terminal cover/case that metal thing you screw on is it dangerous?

Awesome video !

Thank you that was perfect! The hardest part for me was the cord shroud lol

Tired of waiting on my handyman. 🙄 So handywoman (ME) to the rescue thanks to your video. 😁

Thank you sir. I didn't know what I was doing 😅. I cut the crimp rings off. Is it safe to strip the insulation back, and secure the bare wire? Thx in advance.

Great video

I have a GE dryer and i followed your exact steps and also guided myself with the instructions on the back of the dryer (same as your video) but for some reason my dryer keeps tripping the switch and i cannot get it to work. Any idea why? Thank you!

hi - very helpful thank you - quick question for you - does the green wire have to be in the spot where you put it? i checked out the wiring of mine as its been tripping the gfci breaker, and it looks like the green wire is attached next to the hole where the red yellow and black wires are coming out (on the strain relief bracket, i believe it's called). there is the circle next to that hole to denote ground, but its in a different spot vs. what the diagram says, so not sure if that mattered or not. A few ppl have said it doesnt matter / isnt the cause for tripping the gfci breaker, but not sure why it wouldnt be where it says it should be in the diagram. thank you!

ok,question, going for the second dryer trying to find out why is not staying on after 10 seconds, Im using this 4 prung wire conection

Dryer has a green wire so do I hook it to another wire or just do I just add my black cord that has a green wire as well

Thanks

I have a 3 prong dryer with the white cable. Any idea what do I do with it? It’s easily removable.

I need clarity on switching from a 3 to 4 my maytag Neptune dryer has a green yellow and I’m confused about where to put it I have red to red black to black and the white to white green to ground and idk if green and yellow is neutral or not

I have to start doing videos like this

Ok thanks

Thank you I'm almost there but I didn't know what to do with the green wire I just got a brand new washer and dryer and I cut my own wires but when I got dropped it off they said since I don't have new wiring hoses they can't hook it up I never heard of such but anyway I'm putting it together myself thank you now for the washing machine

I have a G E dryer but mine does not have a fuse does this wire the same way without the fuse

I bought a GE and hooked it up with the bar still in place, ground and neutral on the white. It came on but didn't heat up. When I wire it correctly, what you show, it doesn't come on at all.?? Any thoughts?

So the terminal on my dryer broke due to me tightening them so much do you know if there is some way I can replace this?

My green screw won’t fit any other holes except the one it was originally in. And the green wire won’t reach that hole…what do I do?? Thank you so much for helping!!

I don't have a hole to attach the green ground wire. Can I just put it on any screw holding on the cover?

So we go our dryer used and I did not have to install the black wire. But the dryer would randomly stop working. I took the back off and saw that the green wire and white wire were both attached to the middle post. Would that be the reason that it stopped working?

Wondering how I can find where to put the ground wire if the diagram doesn't tell me please help me ! I have a Crosley 3 prong dryer

Hi sir! Where can i get that gold kinda steel that is connecting the neutral to the ground?

What screw did you use to install the green wire ?
