Default Dryer cord strain relief TAKE IT APART!

put the strain relief in first, then feed the cord thru it.****



So mecahically elementary that no wonder it's taken five (5) postings in
this thread so far to get to the problem?
Gee whiz if you have to explain that ****, I wonder if one can assume it's
safe to have them attach the wires?
e.g. there are probably two live wires possibly red/black? (Maybe, or maybe
not a neutral depending on the wire and the design of the dryer. Most dryers
in my experience do not need a neutral). Finally and most importantly the
GROUND wire.
I do hope they get it right, 230 volts and a machine involving water can be
deadly!
The risks some people take! Normally 30 minutes or less for someone who
'knows' to do it safely and TEST it!
Sorry to be harsh and critical but safety is important; especially since we
'do it yourselfers' are involving our own families and homes.
