Do you know which connections are which for the electrical cord wiring? I've got to change the three prong factory cord to a four prong cord which, for one thing has four wires where the other only has three, and the factory cord has three grey wires that are not identified as to which wires are which (pos. negative. grnd.)?? Someone please help so I can quit hand-washing and "line"-drying my clothes all over the place :)

The two connections on the sides are for your voltage, the one in the middle is for the neutural. The dryer's fourth wire is for the ground, and it should be attached to the frame of the dyer.

This website shows a great illustration of this:
