The white wire that was connected to the frame is connected to the neutral inside the dryer. In old three wire connections the neutral double as a ground. When a four wire circuit is used the the white wire needs to be put onto the center or neutral lug to keep the ground and neutral separate per the newer code. There used to be a grounding strap that was to be connected to the neutral lug in the olden days.
🤣 A tad worried about actually plugging this dryer in after doing this on my own, but YOUR VIDEO was perfect!- Here goes nothing !!! Thank you for taking the time out to post this- very much appreciated!
Literally had to do this today and your video was so quick and precise that I got it done in no time. Now for the other hundred things on my honey-do this week!! 😂😂
Finally! Someone's video with a clear explanation of the white cable. I'm replacing my gf's 4 prong cable to 3 prong cable tonight. I knew it went somewhere, but I didn't realize it was on the middle terminal when a 4 prong cable is involved. Thanks a ton!
Thanks so much I just bought the same dryer and also had to change my cord. Your video just taught me how to change my cord. God bless you and Happy Holidays
I bought my 4-prong cord from a local appliance servicer/supplier for $10! Like he said, online is a great cheaper option too if you can wait. Lowe's, Home Depot, Ace, and all the other major hardware stores here in my town had an average price of around $25 fwiw.
Thanks for the very useful video. I was able to change cables using the clear instructions you provided. I liked the way you explained the steps and showed the results very clearly. Thanks!
Well done! Nice to have you show all the work including the speed up areas that we understood but could see your entire process. Thanks for putting in the time to do that.
So, I also have Samsung washer and drier. Instead of white wire under green screw, mine had green and yellow. I hope that did not make a difference. I still put it in center on Neutral. I am now trying to hook up steam function to remove wrinkles if clothes sat to long. I see yours has that also. Wanted to make sure I am doing that correctly
Hi, good video. My issue when changing to 4 prong cords is the middle screw is barely long enough to get both white wires screwed into the block. I don't know why Whirlpool can't make all the screws slightly longer. Here are a couple of suggestions I'd like to offer. Use a 1/4" nut driver instead of a screwdriver and shorten your flexible vent hose to as short as you need and keep it as straight as possible to the exit fitting in the wall. This will save you all kinds of issues with the dryer not working properly and blowing fuses because it can't discharge the hot air efficiently. It's a good idea to use a leaf blower occasionally to blow the lint out of the rest of the discharge line also.

Thank you. I wish I could see how you did the steam hose
Thank you so much for showing the transition to 4 prong.

Does that white wire thats on the the dryer have to go in the middle?

Very good video. It's clear and concise and could be used in a course on repairing dryers. You're a great instructor.

Thx u
Can I connect ground to dryer cabinet to any place?
Thanks alot👍
You’re welcome
Thanks for the video bro
No problem 👍
Works great thank you
Thanks alot 💪😎👍
You’re Welcome ;)
There's a reason why the ground and the neutral wire seperated..and that's for back Feed..
So should I seperate them? My wire was not white. It is green and yellow. I put it in the center as he did. Should I take them apart?
@@michellemcmillan6149 Now I'm all stressed out for you, I hope you got an answer to your question!
Very.good.job.amigo
Thanks!
Better yet, go to a used appliance store and get a used cord from a junk dryer.
brand new one on Amazon is under $10.... worth every penny of it.. and more reliable than a used one..
