To properly install a 4 prong dryer cord remove the silver strap that connects the middle terminal to the dryer cabinet. Use the screw from the strap to connect the green wire from the cord to the dryer in the same hole you removed the screw from.
Connect the white wire from the cord to the center terminal on the block. Connect the red wire to one of the remaining outer terminals. Connect the black wire to the other outer terminal. Save the little silver strap for the future if ever to switch the cord to 3 prong. Send us a picture when connected before plugging in and one of us can verify if it is correct. | ||

Check my work? Okay, I think I got it, will you check my work? I'm nervous!!! I tightened everything down and it looks like the metal bits are clear of other stuff. I'm closing up the back! | ||
