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


Does this look ok from where you sit?

That green wire needs to be terminated on the center terminal.
This will bond the dryer to ground (yes, the neutral). If there
is a short you will find out pretty quick.


I could not tell what the other end of that wire is doing, and
assumed that it was not terminated. If, by chance, it is affixed
someplace else, make a jumper wire that will go under that screw
and terminate it on the center terminal.
