    Wiring 3 prong plug on 4 prong dyer
    I have one question about wiring a 3 prong plug on my dryer. Do I attached the middle white wire to the side ground OR do I take the side ground wire and attach that along with the while wire on the middle screw?

    On the plug there should be red, black, white , and green wires. Your going to place the red and black wires on the outer terminals of the block. The green wire goes to the center of the terminal block and the white goes to the cabinet. I usually screw it in with the access plate
