Default 220V dryer sparked on startup (3 wire) What to test?


wrote in message ...



You see that big bare copper wire on the right side, that comes
over the top and down part way on the left? It's a ground wire
and it's connected right there to the neutral.


I thought that myself, at first. I am still uncertain if this
observation is correct. You will notice that the bare wire is
split-bolted to two other wires on the right side of the panel.
The color on my monitor is messed up and I was not able to
determine the color of the wires (insulated) that are connected
to the bare copper wire. If not green, or if there is not a
ring of green tape wrapped around each of the insulated wires,
something was done wrong.
