Thank you for letting me know this. I created this channel to help as many people as possible DIY. I am thankful to have subscribers like you that appreciate it. I wish you well with all of your projects!
I'm watching how to install this. It seems not to difficult. I've done electrical work before, but never did a 30amp. It's a little scary but my laundry is overtaking my laundry room. Thanks for this information. Straight forward and to the point.
Great video. Found out about a dryer power issue Friday. Saw this vid that night. Ordered parts from your affiliate link (in the description) and had it installed on Sunday.

Thanks Nate. House flipping has always been an interest for me but I have never done it. I have always done new construction. I’m glad you can find my videos helpful!
You video really helped me get my dryer going! I had all the wires, but an incorrect range outlet for some reason, which didn't work. I bought a four prong dryer outlet and just needed to know how to wire it so I could do some laundry. Thank you very much!
I bought a metal box does the ground have to be ground screwed to the box and then plugged into the new 4 prong my wire is short so can I just plug it straight into the 4 prong
Great video, as always. To get more views and more Likes, you might want to consider eliminating empty phraseology such as : "Without further ado...", "That being said...", "as you can see...", "now what I'm gonna do...", "I'm gonna go ahead and...".

Afirst time home buyer here. Our dryer outlet needs to be replaced. I've replaced a standard 3 prong socket before, but never done one of these. I feel confident doing this, but it is a little scary. This video really helped me a lot, thanks.
First time viewer. Great video. I am working on finishing my basement and stumbled upon your channel. Our dryer is 4 prong,house was built in 2019 in Wisconsin. Cheers!
Perfect! Thank you! Do you have an opinion on the adapters for the newer 4 prong dryer cord (female side) to 3 prong (male) that plugs into the existing older style nema 10 outlet? I purchased the adapter to use temporarily, I am interested in your opinion on whether or not my new samsung front load set (dryer) will be protected enough with the adapter cord? I have to see if the home owner will be willing to allow me to make the change to a new 4 prong receptacle and if the wiring is 10-2 or 10-3 as you also mentioned.
excellent work!!! I know this video is 2 years old, but if you tighten your surface screws and make all the lines in the screw go vertical, its the mark of a professional. This bothered me, but its only preference. I've seen your work and you do wonderful. This is just a personal preferance
My condo, new in 1993, originally had a 3 prong outlet. However, the dryer I had at that time required 120V, so I removed the 240V outlet, put a Marrette over both ends of the red wire, moved the black wire to a new 15A breaker and installed a Hubble heavy duty 120V outlet. That dryer died recently, so I put the 240V wiring back for the new dryer, but this time installing a 4 prong outlet. I used the heavy duty Hubble outlet because in my previous home, the standard grade outlet showed signs of overheating.
As always, such a precise video about the type of outlet. We are required in most areas with a 4 prog outlet unless an existing one is a 3 prong and if course matching up with the unit installed. I was told that some units require 4 prong depending on the features etc. Always check with the seller of the dryer unit and the codes for sure. Thank you again Josh. 👍🏻👍🏻
Good point David. If it already exist in the house then 3 prong is good to go. I have never used a three prong cord so I’m not sure if they are universal. Thanks a lot for stopping by!
@@TheExcellentLaborer that's why I let people know to ask the sales person what the unit calls for. It gets delivered then to find out it won't work. I had a customer tell me to just install the 4 prong on a 3 wire circuit and I won't take the responsibility. I've run a new line before for a unit in a basement that was all exposed which is okay with the right breaker as well. That's why I suggest the simple questions for people to ask if I can't be there to help. Take care Josh
Because you asked us to I am commenting as to my remodel having a 4 terminal outlet because I wanted the most up to date outlet available for the dryer receptacle. We will find out once my Family coming to move into the 2 bedroom as to whether or not their Dryer is also a 4 prong plug in and if not will be up grading that as well. Laterz Leland
the same 3 vs 4 prong 240 outlet issue holds true with electric ranges. Only differences are the breaker is usually 50 amps, 6-3 with ground Romex wire is used and the L shaped neutral plug moves to a straight one.
I love your videos. Ive done so much from your videos including plumbing my entire house. Thank you! Thank you for the product list and also all the information. Such an amazing channel!
4 wire is better but honestly it depends how your dryer is wired. You can always change the wiring on the appliance to accommodate how your receptacle is wired too
Thank you Josh. Very informative. Question: are the colors you mentioned for the wiring of this, standard throughout electrical installation? Curious. Love and Light.
Bro great video quick and precise! My daughter just had a house built in Texas and the ground is on bottom of the 4 prong outlet with the neutral on top. Which I think NFPA 70 started recommending ground on bottom in case the cord came partially out due to something falling on it, the ground would stay in? The way hers is positioned with ground on bottom it puts the dryer cord in a awkward position? Have they started making dryer cords to confirm to this position?
My house currently is a four prong but my other house that I used to live in was a three prong. Because houses built before 1996 were three prong my old house was 1994, the one I'm in now is 1998. We had to swap the Dryer cord when we moved because we brought the Washer and Dryer with us.
I have a 3 prong, I switched the connection on the dryer. Since I'm planning on moving the lication of the dryer... m8ght upgrade to 4 prong which is my dryer's original.
Recommended video for a panel that doesn’t have a dryer section in the panel . It’s an older home , new panel installed but never a breaker for a dryer . I want to add the 30amp double pole to the panel is that ok to do ?
I have a cir 1978 house with 3 prong outlets in the dryer and oven. The neutral is only required for 120v service. The true difference between a neutral and a ground is which bar they are landed on in the breaker box. Since they are bonded together they are electrically identical. The installation details for the dryer 3 wire plug installation calls for the third wire, the neutral on the plug to be connected to the ground on the outlet. I am not comfortable if the dryer is using the ground to create 120v service instead of an internal 240/120 transformer. I have checked my old oven and the power supply did use a 240/120 transformer for the oven light. The circuit board was powered by a 240v to DC circuit.
I HAVE A 110 2 PRONG OLD OUTLET WITH 4 PLUG INPUTS. DO YOU SEPARATE ONE PLUG OUTLET TO MAKE A DEDICATED SOLO OUTLET FOR THE DRYER, (OR DOES THIS REQUIRE ANOTHER ALTERNATIVE ELECTRICAL SOLUTION? GREAT WORK AND GREAT VIDEO! 🖤💪🏽👌
my dryer is a 3 prong outlet. I have to remember to get a range cord when I get one. Hubby wanted to go ahead and change it out to a 4 prong. Will we have to rewire the wires?
Excellent video. I Might add if some dont know. The gold/brass terminals are always for the hot wires even on regular outlets. Brass does not expand and contract like other metals so it is used for the hot wires. The neutral wire Always goes to the silver terminal. this is an easy way to verify the correct terminal for hots. NOTE. this is important for polarity on 110 outlets also. On the front of the 110 outlet the brass will be the smallest slit the plug goes into. I believe this is done to save money since brass is more expensive then the silver
How do you know which wires go where? I just bought the plug to replace on the dryer (by recommendation from the home depot employee) but I figured the outlet would be easier for me to change instead so I'm going to go swap out for the outlet instead.
(06:55) My house has a three-prong dryer outlet. The house was built in 1989 by my family. Tonight we had to do some emergency plumbing where our outdoor spigot froze and busted and was leaking into the house. We pulled out the dryer, because the spigot/pipe exits the house behind it, and we found out we have to replace the dryer outlet. It didn't get wet, but It's been burning and the prongs on the pigtail are corroded.
I was changing out the receptacle from a 3 prong to a 4 prong for my new dryer but my outlet doesn’t have a ground wire 😢 can use my new dryer with the three wires or do I need to have an electrician run a ground?
I’ve got a very interesting case I have an exterior shed. Which house is my laundry facilities. We have a modular home which is not equipped or has the space for laundry so we bought a shed And put in wiring we have a recently had to update that wiring with conduit. I just realized I had a three prong outlet. It was ungrounded, but cause no problems so it looks like I’m gonna have to buy a new plug for both the dryer and the receptacle but yes to answer what you were looking for. In the comments I have a three prong.
I have a 3 prong house bought the 4 prong same one in this video but now realized the house doesn’t have a green ground wire. Only has 3 wires to put into a 4 prong. My solution I’m thinking is buy an extra wire and jump it from the white wire neutral to the green ground. Because currently have no power out of the 4 prong with the 3 wires hooked into it
If i were to bring the wires to the other side of my house would 10 guage be good enough without voltage drop or how many feet can i get out of it safely
Unfortunately, my outlet didn’t have color coded screws. They were all the same colour. Silver. But I followed the diagram on the box which showed which color wire goes where. Thanks. 😊
I was told that in the 3-prong setup the ground and neutral are bonded in the dryer and it is okay because they are bonded at the main electrical panel also. This doesn't make sense to me because it seems similar to an illegal bootleg ground in a 120v receptacle and will introduce objectionable current. Please advise.
I had 3. My house was built in 87 so when I upgraded appliances they came with 4 prong. I watched a couple video like yours are switched them myself. Good video man

Thank you Arno! Try to put as much information that will be useful to the viewer in my content. Be sure to stay tuned for more!
excellent video. Great close ups too. Moving my washer and dryer, so will install a 4 prong in the new location.
I have both. Thank you so much! you are the best. My new dryer will be up and running tomorrow. I am soooooo excited.
I have a 3 prong, but I just bought the house, and a new dryer. So I'm using this video to install the 4 prong.
Nice video. Quite informative. At present I have a 50 amp 3 prong outlet that should be upgraded to a 4 prong when a new dryer is installed

4 wire is better but honestly it depends how your dryer is wired. You can always change the wiring on the appliance to accommodate how your receptacle is wired too
In my receptacle its just: black white in tge middle ground or copper cable only could you believe?
There are prong adapters sold on Amazon. Mine works great. Dryer was a 3 prong and the outlet was 4. Very simple fix no rewiring!
Modern code wants 4 wire so there is access to 110v for the control electronics, without sending power down the ground.

(06:55) My house has a three-prong dryer outlet.
The house was built in 1989 by my family.
Tonight we had to do some emergency plumbing where our outdoor spigot froze and busted and was leaking into the house. We pulled out the dryer, because the spigot/pipe exits the house behind it, and we found out we have to replace the dryer outlet. It didn't get wet, but It's been burning and the prongs on the pigtail are corroded.
Please don’t take this wrong….but so glad the pipe broke so that you found the damaged dangerous outlet before your house caught on fire!!
I was changing out the receptacle from a 3 prong to a 4 prong for my new dryer but my outlet doesn’t have a ground wire 😢 can use my new dryer with the three wires or do I need to have an electrician run a ground?
Does it matter on the distance between circuit breaker and installing the receptacle for possible voltage drop when getting the proper gage of wire ?
Not usually but if it’s really far away the voltage will start to drop.
I’ve got a very interesting case I have an exterior shed. Which house is my laundry facilities. We have a modular home which is not equipped or has the space for laundry so we bought a shed And put in wiring we have a recently had to update that wiring with conduit. I just realized I had a three prong outlet. It was ungrounded, but cause no problems so it looks like I’m gonna have to buy a new plug for both the dryer and the receptacle but yes to answer what you were looking for.

I was told that in the 3-prong setup the ground and neutral are bonded in the dryer and it is okay because they are bonded at the main electrical panel also.
