Wire Plug

14th April 2009

Where do I plug the 4 wire dryer replacement cords, and which color goes first?

I am replacing my dryers 3 wire plug with a 4 wire plug because the newer homes now apparently use the 4 wire plugs. The colors are black, white, green, and red but I don’t know which one to plug in first and where. My old dryer is not color coated so I can’t just follow the pattern. I tried looking on-line for a DIY network, but they didn’t offer info. on a 4 wire plug. Please help, as I need to wash asap.
I received two answers from you, and I’m afraid to do it, plus I’m a visual person and still don’t quite understand what to do. I need to know where the black, white, green, and red wires plug? If possible can someone send me a visual picture? Sorry to bug.

One of the original wires will connect to the chassis of the dryer. Place the new green wire to this point. The other two original wires are the live lines. Replace them with the red and black wires in the new cord. The new cord also has a white line which is neutral. Do not connect this to the dryer chassis. The neutral will not be used. Get a wire nut, Marrette, or similar and put over the end of the wire. Use a cable tie to hold it in place so that it does not come in contact with either the chassis or other wiring.
