I have bought a replacement 4 wire plug for my dryer, but need help with what to connect each wire to?
Question:The 3 wire plugs are all grey, the new 4 wire has a green wire which is the ground, and a red, white and black wire. The back of the dryer show a L1, N, L2 in a diagram, but I do not know which wire goes to which (L1, N, or L2) I am pretty sure white goes to the N, can you please help
Answers:
Red and black to L1 and L2 doesnt matter which one they are both hots, and white to N and the green to the to green ground screw on dryer and if there is a jumper wire from the N to the Ground screw in the dryer make sure to remove , That is in place for a 3 prong cord
Your manual for the dryer should have the diagram for wiring, but so should the online manual on the manufacturer website.hope that helps!
