3 prong cord for dryer

When you have a clothes dryer at home, for example, there are not too many things to plug into it except the receptacle that its wire will be terminated in. This is the cord that plugs into the wall and gives electricity to your dryer. Did you know that a dryer has different kinds of plugs? This is referred to as a 3 prong cord. This means that the plug shall have three prongs such as each one is to insert into separate slots of wall socket. This plug fits into only a particular type of electric system.

Those older, more simple dryers - a 3-wire cord is appropriate. Before you change out your dryer cord know what type of cord is needed when replacing it, otherwise the outcome could range from your dryer not working all the way up to burning out a motor on one! So it is always better to determine what you should look for in the dryer first.

Installing a 3 prong cord for your dryer - step by step guide

Step 5: Wire It Up- Now that you have your new three prong cord in hand, attach it to the dryer. The new cord is three wire: white with black stripe, green and plain all black. Black towards the right of center screw, white to left side and green. Proper placement and fitting are important for a safe responsible dryers use.

A 4 prong cord is actually SAFER than a 3 prong. Not here because 4 prong cord has ground instead of neutral. The ground wire is what makes it safe to use a power outlet, so you should SPEND THE extra few dollars and NEVER LEAVE THIS WIRE OUT. This will divert power automatically in case of the issue to avoid getting electrocuted. Changing to a 3 prong cord simply may create danger for an electrical shock that can put you and your family in risk.
