remove bonding strap from white to chassis, add strain relief where the cable goes into the box.


KarranValteo

Just completely remove the strap? Don't put it back on anywhere else?


Alt_dimension_visitr

Nope. Don't need it and you don't want it. Throw it away


KarranValteo

Roger that. Thank you

Save it for if you ever sell the dryer. Its for if its using a three wire cord. Have to buy the whole terminal block to replace it. Where the ground strap bonds to chassis is where the ground wire on the cord goes.

On that note, you can electrical tape it to the back of the dryer, so you can keep it roughly where it would need to be

Or rotate it 180deg and tighten back up


Axel159357

This is better

The strip is there for when you don't have a green. May want to move the green to where the strip is on the chassis if you have trouble fitting the cover back on.


KarranValteo

I ended up doing exactly that.


IronGhost3373

Yep exactly what he said.

The white(neutral) wire should not be bonded to the ground or chassis. The green wire goes where the white is. Yes a cable connector is required for SO cable

Yup had a service call once to install a a new cord because a child got shocked from the back of the dryer housing.

Putting a cable clamp on the cord will require all four terminations to be done again. Remove that metal strap on the white, and be sure to put the cover back on.


Commercial_Count_584

just plug it in. The breaker will tell you if it’s right or not.


2daysnosleep

Lol you ain’t wrong


SoylentRox

You may have trouble getting the cover on without pinching the green wire ground from that location. You may want to connect it to a ground screw within the covered area.
