Hi Everyone,
I want to run the dryer on 220v but it is currently set up for 110v. I know there’s some wire switching here but I want to be very sure before I attempt anything. How do I have to set the block up and where do the 3 incoming wires attach?

Mark, I'm just about to leave on vacay for about 10 days, but I'm pretty sure that you have to disconnect the yellow wire from the white terminal and re-install it on the 'empty' post.  You would then wire a 240v supply cord with its red, white, and black wires connected to the corresponding ones on the terminal block.  If you don't get a more definitive answer, I'll take a picture of my CD-6 wiring block and send it to you when I get back on March 15th.

Paul I thought you were already on vacation! I also think you're correct in that wiring.
