Whirlpool Estate Dryer barely heating

As long as the receptacle is 220v , good luck APPLIANCES R EN

A dryer runs 2 halfs (one half 120, the other 120). Sounds like you are missing the 120 that operates those two. Did you change from a four prong to a three prong?

no,you need to connect the green wire to any metallic part of the dryer,even if the white wire on the neutral terminal has a bonding strap from this terminal to the metallic dryer case as you should never connect more than one wire under any type of terminal unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer

If this is an ELECTRIC dryer, the following link explains how to install either a 3-prong or 4-prong power cord:

If this is a GAS dryer, the standard color code for a three prong grounded plug is:

BLACK - HOT
WHITE - NEUTRAL
GREEN - GROUND

If you have any questions, please post back and let me know. I hope this helps you.

Hi,
Sometimes they do go in really hard and you have to almost hammer it in... use the palm of your hand and give it a good whack... it will go!!

The following link explains the wiring scheme for 3 and 4 prong power cords. I know the instructions are for converting from a 3 to a 4 prong, but if you look under the "Additional Notes" section it explains how to convert back to a 3-prong if you are currently using a 4-prong.
