I have a Kenmore HE3 front load washer which has a 3 prong cord. Moving into a new home that has a 4 prong outlet. Is there a converter that will solve this problem?

YOU DONT ADAPT IT, U REPLACE THE RECEPTACLE OR USE THE CORRECT PRONG CORD. THE CORDS ARE NOT THAT EXPENSIVE FROM 20 TO 30 BUCKS AND EVEN CHEAPER ON LINE. IF U HAVE A NEWER HOME IT IS MANDATED BY LAW THAT YOU USE 4 PRONG CORD NOT 3 PRONG UNLESS THE HOME CAME WITH A 3 PRONG OUTLET.

Yes you can. Green in the middle and red and black to the matching sides coming in from above the block where your connecting the cord

If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jason_4570d45317834dd3

a 3 prong has a black/red wire for L1 and L2 hots... then white for neutral- in the four wire setup it will be as follows black L1/red L2 both hot wires, white neutral or "N" terminal and /Green for safety ground to unit case

You'll need to get a new 4 prong cable. Connect wires as color coded now and connect the green to the frame.

Did the dryer get clothes dry in your old home with the 3 prong plug?

If so, id put the 3 prong plug back on it, and switch to outlet to a 3 prong...

The following link explains how to convert a 3-prong appliance cord to a 4-prong and vice-versa:

If you still have questions, please let me know. I hope this helps you.

Yes, a 3-prong DOES have a NEUTRAL wire. That would be the WHITE terminal. A 3-prong does not have a separate ground. The NEUTRAL is usually grounded at the appliance casing by a jumper wire.

Read in the "Additional Notes" section on how to convert from a 4-prong to 3-prong. Also note that some of the newer appliances require a 4-prong plug in order to run correctly. I have a Kenmore HE3 model dryer that is currently using a 3-prong power cord. Since this model Kenmore is manufactured by Whirlpool, and is identical to the Duet, you should be okay with a 3-prong plug.

Purchase a 3 prong cord at a home improvement center. and replace your 4 prong cord. all you need is a screwdriver.

Yes, you can use any safety 4-prong as long as it is a dryer cord rated at 220V.

if she went from a 4 prong cord to 3 prong cord the only difference is a extra green ground wire... black and red to the out side screws and the white in the middle... not sure what your calling a converter... unless the changeing of the cord.. 4 prong are mostly in trailers here in florida
