That must be an old dryer. All dryers today come wired as 4 wire. Code does not permit the neutral wire to be grounded. The real issue is many older homes still have 3 wires feeding the receptacle. 2 hots and a ground. If you convert the ground to a neutral, (which you cannot do) you still need a ground or neutral that you don’t have. You must get an electrician to install a 10/3 feed with a ground.
@@avflyguy Knowing it is a code violation now and a potential fire hazard, you can upgrade the wiring, receptacle and cord set on the dryer to 30 amp 4 wire. If that isn’t practical, then wait until you get a new dryer and upgrade the wiring then. Honestly, the risk is not worth waiting. The code changed because the authorities having jurisdiction were made aware of the safety issues of grounding the neutral more than once in a dwelling.
Good job. I have a new LG TrimQ dryer. My house is old, along with the 30a power source but still in good shape. We'll go with a 4 prong.😊
*Thank You and Yeah Good Idea!*
This video exactly matched my whirlpool frontloader instructions. Thanks!
*Hey that’s awesome friend. Happy to help you! Happy New Year!* 🎆
Thank you! I didn’t know how to do this. Thanks for making it so simple and easy to understand!
*Hey You’re Very Welcome & Happy I Could Help You Friend! Take Care!*
Why yes, plug in that unterminated cable at 1:00
Just to see if it kills you, or you get lucky and someone shut off the breaker.
*Nobody Died, I’m Still Alive! 😂 Dryer Works Great! Thanks!*
Why would you connect the ground and neutral together vs just connecting the green wire to ground?
*Lol You’re Saying The Same Thing Friend. The Green Wire Is The Ground*
@@CJsINFO you shorted the ground and neutral, why? That’s what I am trying to understand.
@@plushquasar653 *What Would You Do?*
@@CJsINFO I would have kept them separate.
*Okay & I Just Didn’t Think It Mattered*

*Hey Thanks Brother! I Appreciate Your Genuine Comment! And Yes The Dryer Is Older Model But New Condition*
There are multiple hundreds or thousands of homes with the 3 prong plug. Then what?

L 3 from me. Thanks for this share.
*Welcome Friend!*
I did changed the 4 prong to 3 prong ,the dryer turns on but it doesn't rotate or start . Any one what might be the problem ?
*Check and Make Sure The Door Is Fully Shut*
I think there's an adapter for it.
*Yes There Is However A Single Wired Cable / Connecion Is Safer & Recommended*
