So, there is no ground that I know of, if I understood this correctly.
That's why I asked if you guys ADD a ground wire in this situation?

The ground is a must, for safety. At one time, it was allowed to run
the timer current though ground. A neutral conductor is now required
for that current.


I've been trying to figure if the cold wire of a
three wire dryer is a neutral or ground. I'd thought
it was a ground, but some folks on the list and
on the web thought it's a neutral.


I'm looking at the receptacle chart at
http://www.repeater-builder.com/tech...on-locking.pdf

The normal three-wire dryer receptacle appears to be on line 10
(125/250V). This receptacle has 2 hots and neutral. This is different
from line 6 (250V with ground).
