Some how something is not right
? why manufacture would use 4 prong plug on 120 ac
unless is this unit 220/3/60 and is it commercial grade
???????????????????????????????????/ Tony
That is now the code. Two hots, neutral, ground. Used to be the 110V
controls could use the ground as a neutral.
Note: It is not 120V, normal dryers use 220V There may be some small
portable units that use 120V.
Note: the higher voltage is always twice the lower one, an in 110/220
or 120/240.
I am the OP
Today I switched the wires and found the dryer was set up for 3 wire.
The ground strap WAS attached and the 4 wire had twp wires going to the
ground strap lug in the center. Appears the dryer was made for 3 wire.
I attached my wire from the old dryer the same as it was attached in the
old dryer.
