Please be careful listening to this person. Three
wire dryer connection has two hots and a ground.
No neutral. And, you'd never deliberately connect
a neutral to the frame or case.


Hate to inform you, but in a 3 wire dryer socket there are 2 hots and a
neutral. There is no ground.
Go here and learn.

Also notice the picture where the frame of the dryer is attached to the
neutral wire.
