    Did you have to rewire the device box to accommodate a four wire connection?

    Have you checked the breaker to make sure it has not tripped?

    Do you have a multi-meter?

    Is this a 240 VAC dryer or a 120 VAC driver?

    It is a 240 dryer, 4 wire
    Breaker is not tripped
    No rewire because was told to connect neutral and ground to same bus.( was skeptical about this but tried it)
    No multi tester :( just pen tester

    Think I may have to break down and call a pro. What can u suggest

    Call a pro in. I see typical DIY workmanship.

    Connector is missing on the new cable entering the panel.

    The 2 pole breaker needs to be installed in the center of the panel.

    I have no idea why there is no power in thre FPE panel, need to check feeder to this panel.
