no, No, NO, _NO_!!!

One more time...the third wire in a 3-wire dryer circuit _IS_THE_GROUND_
wire allowed by previous NEC to double as the 120V neutral. It is not,
repeat _NOT_ connected to the neutral bus.



It has to original at the service panel, where the neutral/ground conductor
of the dryer cable connects to the neutral/ground buss of the panel. It
cannot originate in a sub panel where you have separate neutral and ground
busses
