You may also want to look at the dryer where the power wire is. As this

only a 3 wire cord make sure there is a strap going from the neutral wire

for 3 wires or bent out of the way if a 4 wire cable is used.

Hmmm... There is no *external* 'strap" going to the steel frame of the
dryer.
Are you saying there should be an *internal* strap that I can look for?

This looks like a 3 wire power cord. You need to unplug the dryer and open
up the back where the wire goes in. Look and there will be 3 terminals the
power wire hooks to. It will probably be the middle wire that is the
neutral and there should be a strap going from there to the frame of the
dryer.

While the dryer is open look around for any black or burnt areas near wires
or the internal electrical parts.
