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

BTW, what on earth are the bare aluminum wires anyway?
Are they huge grounds?
Are they un-insulated neutrals?


Now that I think about it, I got it backwards. The insulated wire is
cooking the non insulated wire. So much for being tired and bleary
eyed. The bare wires are grounds.
