Replace power cord

If you installed the power cord I am guessing this is a 240 volt electric dryer. Electric dryer terminal blocks have 3 screws in a straight line. The center is neutral with a hot line on each side. The hot lines don't matter which is on the right or left. Now if you have the big flat power cord, the 3 wires are already in line for you. the center is neutral and the 2 hot lines are on the outsides. Install all wire in a straight line. If you have a big round power cord it may have 4 wires inside that are usually color coded. White is Neutral (center screw). green is a secondary ground and can be attached to any screw going into the dryer body. That should leave 2 more wires--red and black, These are your hot lines. put one color on each side of the neutral screw. Doesn't matter if red is on right and black on left side or if you reverse those 2 colors. It should still work properly.

You have a black and white and green wire. Green is ground white is neutral, black is hot . Should say on the motor either L1 = black wire. L2 = white wire , G = Green wire or it say H = black wire, N = white wire , G or the symbol for ground = green wire

you cut cord have open circuit.your electrical cord has three wires neutral wire white wire black wires hot wire and bare wire for ground. if you cut either neutral wire or hot black wire in the electrical cord no power can flow to trimmer motor if you cut wire need to fix wire to get trimmer work again.

Are you talking about just a standard plug, say from an extension cord, or lamp?

If so, black is the phase(hot) wire, White is neutral, and green is your ground. You can see in this image the outlet wiring, so your power cord should match. Essentially large = neutral, small = hot, round = ground.

Yes. The ground will be green or yellow-green, the neutral will be white and the hot is black. This is the standard 110-volt wiring scheme. The neutral is either the white wire or the SILVER lug, the hot is either the black wire or the GOLD lug and green is always ground. some power cords have a green and yellow striped wire instead of the solid green. Just be sure to replace each wire with the same color as the one you are removing

If the new house has an existing three-wire outlet, the simplest solution is to install a 3-prong power cord on your dryer. The following link explains the differences between a 3-wire and 4-wire configuraiton:

So...if you need to install a 3 prong power cord, it should be wired as follows:

RED (HOT) 120VAC to RED
BLACK (HOT) 120VAC to BLACK
WHITE (NEUTRAL) 0 VAC to WHITE - a Ground wire needs to be connected to the Neutral lead at the terminal block and grounded to the dryer cabinet.

The other alternative would require you to install a 4-wire receptacle so you could still use your current power cord. A certified electrician is recommended for this job and may cost you some money. A replacement power cord, on the other hand, usually costs less than $20 and can be found ay any hardware store.

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

Here is a picture on how to wire the range.



The black and red are the hot wires and the white is the neutral wire. the green is the ground you will not have the green with a 3 wire power cord.

In a three wire system you have 2 hot wires (black and red) and a neutral (white). the ground is connected to the neutral at the dryer. In a 4 wire system you have the 2 hot wires, neutral, and a ground. (green). The ground is connected with the neutral at the circuit panel. The hot wires at the dryer should be on the outside scres, the neutral should be in the center and the ground should be under the green screw. *****. .

• white wire (neutral) goes in the middle, between the two hot wires
  
• green wire goes to the case, should be a green screw or bolt to connect to
  
• black and red wires are hot (110v each) one on each side of the neutral.

let me know if you get stuck name brand would help Mike

• green = ground (attach directly to the case, should be a green painted screw near the opening
  
• red = hot 110v connect to the red on the dryer
• black = hot 110v connect to the black on the dryer
• white = neutral connects to the blue (only if the blue is in the middle)
• neutral is always in the middle with a hot wire on either side of it.
• also make sure all the connections are tight
