August 27,202. I am 74 year old lady. I had no problem removing old pigtail. Installing new 1 made me stop. I had no idea what to do with the EXTRA white cord. I watched several videos. You are the ONLY person who addressed this issue. Thumbs UP to you. Thumbs DOWN to the rest
Thank you very much. Your video will allow me to swap out my dryer 3 prong hookup for a 4 prong the right way . All Maytag had was a robot reading their instructions PDF on video
Exactly what I was looking for - wasn’t entirely sure what to do with ‘extra’ neutral wire, based on the diagram on my dryer. You explained it so clearly, I was confident in the placement. Also managed not to drop my screws! Lol
My "old white" wire connected to the 5/16 isn't white, it's actually green with a yellow stripe. Is that the same thing - still double it up with the new white neutral on the terminal?
Recently moved into a condo, where there was a 3-prong dryer plug. I was getting a shock touching the dryer. I decided to switch to 4-prong, so of course I had to replace the outlet, too. I found that the ground wire had never been attached to the 3-prong outlet at all; in fact, it had been snipped off in the box. It's bad enough that it's supposed to share the neutral terminal, to say nothing of being left off completely! It's a good lesson in why the 3-prong is a bad design. Luckily, there was enough left for me to pigtail onto the ground and get a solid installation on the 4-prong.
Hello I have the same dryer (MEDB2OOVQ0) and I keep getting a the L2 and PF error code. I found out that I had a loose screw on the terminal block. I think the previous owner did what you described in the video and used a screw with a different threat pattern because none of the screws that came with the dryer will secure on tightly on the right hot side l. I looked on the website u provided and I couldn’t find any terminal blocks any other places I can look to get this item?
@@WasherDryerMoney thank you also your videos are very informational I learned how to take apart and put together my dryer because of you is was my 1st project as a handyman lol
Dropping them screws/bolts as he said is easy to do. So if you are doing this as much as I do, the solution to avoid dropping them screws inside the machine is simple. You can take a card board and cut it to size with fingers that go in between them terminals and that will guide the screws out on the ground if it falls and not inside the machine. I made mine out of sheet metal and made the outside end of it so it will hold the screws instead of sliding out to the ground. I simly unscrew the screws and let it go. They will stay right on the metal plate for me. No problem.
@@dianakesl1814 Indeed. I actually have magnetized nut driver and there are damn times the screws are dog gone flat heads if you know what I mean. And sometimes they seem to be copper/brass or something that the dang magnets don't grab.
@@alchemy1 Chinese metal can be any mixture of trash metals. I bought "stainless steel" bolts for my sailboat that rusted out in a year. I lost two screws and tried to turn the dryer upside down but that didn't work either. I tried to take off the back panel to get them ,nope. Other screws turned backwards holding on the back panel. Here I am writing down the screw and thread size so I can drive 30 miles to go buy two new screws. The best thing to do is make a piece of cardboard and tape it in the bottom of the hole so you don't lose the screws, haha!! (Rusty)
Great video. Thanks for your time and doing it right. The first video I went to the dude was drunk, haha, it was entertaining though. He had to turn off comments he was getting beat up so bad, lol. (Rusty)
I just bought a used dryer from someone that has a 4-prong and Im curious to know how they were able to get their dryer to work at all with the way they connected the wires. They connected the green wire to the center along with the white neutral of the plug. The other white wire is where the green one should be as the ground attached with the green screw to the case. I need to convert from 4-prong to 3-prong which is what had me looking to begin with and was initially so confused at the set-up as it was different from every video I have watched for how 4-prong wires should look. Is it because the green and white jumper both serve as neutral?
I am working on a Maytag switching out the dryer cord to a Fwy, Paul Meadowbrook Hartford White is each which one you got white green, black, red blue and each terminal and there’s no white wire connected to the dryer so I can move it to the ground somebody give me a hand here I’m screwed
Hello I followed every step of this video & was able to get everything connected the correct way. But now the dryer only works if I hold the button down…. I already checked and the belt is intact & drum is spinning
Wired mine just like this I have 240 at my outlet and 240 at the end of the wires at the terminal block …. From neutral to hot I’m still carrying 240 instead of 120 what is going on why Wont my machine start

A loose screw is a hot screw. Use the right size.
GOLD!!!

Check on eBay. A lot of times I can get parts that I cannot find anywhere else on eBay.

A magnetized screw driver works too. (Rusty) (I dropped two screws inside the machine before my genius ass thought of it).

Excellent!! Thank you!!
Would this work, if I’m going from a 4 prung outlet to a 3? This will help me a lot.
I am working on a Maytag switching out the dryer cord to a Fwy, Paul Meadowbrook Hartford White is each which one you got white green, black, red blue and each terminal and there’s no white wire connected to the dryer so I can move it to the ground somebody give me a hand here I’m screwed
Hello I followed every step of this video & was able to get everything connected the correct way. But now the dryer only works if I hold the button down…. I already checked and the belt is intact & drum is spinning
The one on the top left for me is geeen too… how do I go about that
And will dryer work as it should if going this route, thx in advance
I have quite a few videos on how to change plugs in a few types of Dryers. They’re all fairly similar how they hook up.
My maytag doesn't have a place to connect the ground???
Thank you
Thanks very helpful
Glad to help
Wired mine just like this I have 240 at my outlet and 240 at the end of the wires at the terminal block …. From neutral to hot I’m still carrying 240 instead of 120 what is going on why Wont my machine start
Thank you Sir . 🙂
Glad to help
Great video! I appreciate it! Haha
Worked! ..thanks
Cool
Thank You!!
Glad to help
Why did you change the white wire and put the green wire with a white wire go
What if it doesn't have a white wire
That’s strange if they color-coded them differently. I would have to take a look at it. Sorry.
I’m sitting behind my Maytag dryer and watching this video let’s see if I could do this 😅
So what happens when this doesn’t work?
Can u connect the white and green together if no green screw for green wire
Wife is happy. Thanks.
It was cheaper buy used one on fb for $20 than buying part for Samsung dryer that I have already.
Glad to help.
I did this wrong. I added by green wire to the white wire on the ground. And now my element is staying on. 😅
I'm not sure if I should be taking advice from someone calling an impact a drill😂 jkjk
Saved my ass thanks
Glad to help
My wire isn’t white it’s green and white
what if im missing the white wire on the chassi
Thank you!!!
