Nice video! I assumed it would be pretty simple and straight-forward. Just got that guaranteed confidence on changing mine to 3prong. The lint warning was also a good idea before finishing this tutorial! I was aware of the lint build up inside the tubing and the exhaust end outside of the house, but didn't think of the lint INSIDE of the dryer! The one I purchased had a damaged lint filter, so I will for sure inspect the interior of the dryer first before starting her up. Those darn filters are surprisingly expensive! Subbed!
The white wire was already there, it is attached to the center wire screw of the four-prong cord. He just moved it over to the grounding screw when he installed the three-prong cord.
I watched another video where the white ground wire was attached to the center terminal and a green jumper was attached also to the center terminal then attached to the body of the dryer. Is another jumper necessary ?
Good video, but you left out the ground wire and when you shopped at Lowe's you didn't buy hex head screws. You also didn't mention why you bought 2 different length screws; 3/8" & 1/2".
You didnt show most important thing .Did you transfered a neutural white wire jumper from middle terminal and use it as ground attached to dryer body for 3 prongs cord?
I just got a Bosch and the 4 prong doesn't match the outlet. I have a salvaged 3 prong from an old maytag. I hope to Jesus it's safe to replace it. Otherwise I can't even open the door.
Sometimes the white wire will be tucked behind the terminal block from the last person that put a cord on it that didn’t know where the white wire went. I’ve also seen people just cut those wires off. I’m not sure if some dryers just didn’t come with one. As always before you mess with anything on the dryer be sure to have a completely unplugged. Be safe
Most dryer plugs are interchangeable. Where the plug actually connects to the dryer my work slightly different from dryer in the dryer. If you look around CZcams I’m sure you’ll find a video of someone change your name exact same dryer plug for you to reference.
@@janonthemtn That might depend on the plugs you are interchanging, 3 to 4 or 4 to 3. Proper circuit for a 4 wire has a separate ground wire at the plug also. If changing from 3 to 4 wire, there will not be a separate ground in the circuit that attaches to the 4 wire plug. There will only be 3 wires. Might want to research. Personally, I don’t see why you cannot disregard the separate grind in the cord and leave the ground on the cabinet as it was with the 3 wire and tape the extra ground on the 4 wire cord or cut it then tape or wire nut and tape it.

So you didn't mention anything about the white ground cord. I'm assuming it's just connects to the screw that held the green cord in correct?
Wonder if his dryer is still working, never assume
Thanks, my wife and I just moved into our new home together and it had one of these plugs and wasn't sure what to do. Life saver.
Glad to help
You didnt explain why you put the grounding wire where the green wire was but great video
Glad to help
Glad to help was not quite the answer we needed 🙄. Most people probably arrived here for this exact explanation and you skipped right over it
The white wire was already there, it is attached to the center wire screw of the four-prong cord. He just moved it over to the grounding screw when he installed the three-prong cord.
where do you find the extra ground wire
Thank you. That was very helpful!!!
Glad to help
thanks bro it seems easy peezy trying tomorrow

Great video.
Just fyi on those screws 10 24 is not a length.
10 is the diameter and 24 is the number of threads per inch
That’s cool thanks.
Thank you. Great job
Thank you….helpful
Glad to help
Need yo be specific where the red white green and black wires connect to the ted white and nlack connection
Seemingly easy, but I noticed how you skipped the explanation on the ground cable. Could you clarify that?
I have a red white green and black wire so how are these connected to red white and black
Or should I say is a jumper necessary
You skipped attaching or explaining the white cord? Do you just put it back on?
I have changed the plug but dryer still doesnt power up what did i do wrong
Can you change a 3 prong to a 2 prong for a dryer?
I just got a Bosch and the 4 prong doesn't match the outlet. I have a salvaged 3 prong from an old maytag. I hope to Jesus it's safe to replace it. Otherwise I can't even open the door.
Hello, where did you get the white cord to place on the green screw/nut?
Sometimes the white wire will be tucked behind the terminal block from the last person that put a cord on it that didn’t know where the white wire went. I’ve also seen people just cut those wires off. I’m not sure if some dryers just didn’t come with one.
As always before you mess with anything on the dryer be sure to have a completely unplugged. Be safe
You didn't show how to connect the 4 wires to the the three wire connection da!
Can we change the plug, take the old plug(in excellent condition) from our original dryer(Frigidaire) and install it onto a newer Whirlpool dryer?
Most dryer plugs are interchangeable. Where the plug actually connects to the dryer my work slightly different from dryer in the dryer. If you look around CZcams I’m sure you’ll find a video of someone change your name exact same dryer plug for you to reference.
@@WasherDryerMoney Thank You! Now I have hope I can use it soon💗

@@rickeykeeton4770Thank you, we finally got it figured out.
The Other video was by Liz G.
