I just watched three different videos with three different dudes. Talking about such an unnecessary. Jargon and you broke it down and under 5 minutes. Thank you so much. I am sitting in Walmart parking lot. I was about to go home and say forget it. I feel confident now that I can do this you rock.
That a jargon as you call it is to make sure it is done correctly and safe. She left out many things that should never be left out. Videos that cut corners get homes burned down and people in the ER.
Thanks for showing what to do with the original grounding wire! I had to watch 10 videos before I saw yours and none of the other ones told me what to do with it. Thanks!!!
A video that tells me exactly how to do what I need to do and instead of some crusty handyman, it's a beautiful girl with an awesome sense of humor. Very well done. Thank you!
Sendy, beautiful woman& video, well made, great instructions, but why all the suggestive comments: put into hole, screw it, nice & tight, etc, etc? LOL
Great video. Finally, a how-to video that doesn't go too fast or hide what you are doing with your hands. And the point that the white wire goes in the middle could be invaluable if you can't see the wires. However, since you are gearing the video for true beginners, it might be a good idea to warn/remind folks to make darn sure it is unplugged until the whole process is complete. It might seem obvious, but I have heard of electricians making that mistake.
We just bought a new dryer without the four prong connected. I'm going to surprise my partner by just installing it, like I just knew without instructions. This will be one of several appliances he thinks I've just known (without instructions) how to fix 😉 Thanks, girl ❤
Thank you so much for being the only video out of 10 to help me actually do what I needed to do. You didn't sit around and talk AT me about things that aren't important for changing the wire like all of the men did. I really, really appreciate it!!
If it has not already been mentioned, It is very very very important that the loose white wire (it may be green with a yellow stripe on older dryers) is connected to the center terminal along with the white wire from the 4 prong plug. This also is super important if you are changing from a 4 prong to a 3 prong, that extra white wire (it may be green with a yellow stripe on older dryers) MUST to be connected to the ground screw. Electrical shock may occur.
Perfectly worked for me. Lowe’s, Home Depot local stores none of them were able to help me properly with this stuff, but she explained it in a way I didn’t need to think twice about any step in the process of changing the plug. Everything was very clearly explained. Thank you so much.
Thank you for this video! Seriously, I was looking for a way to connect my dryer to the outlet in the garage that we use for welding machines. I couldn't find a straight up practical solution, but then I saw your thumbnail. Honestly, your beautiful face stood out in a sea of plug images and I thought why not? You really know your stuff and you were quick about it. I now know how I'm going to resolve my dryer problem. I'm really glad to see that this video has so many views too.
Wow I looked at a few videos before yours as they were long and didn’t even tell you what to do with the green wire yet I find your and it’s quick simple and easy to follow. Thank you so much for that. I like to do everything myself without having to ask a man friend to do it for me.
Thanks for the video, it was very helpful. There were a few differences with my dryer (there wasn't a white wire hanging inside dryer and there was a green wire already hooked into the green screw). I just attached the cord wires as per your vid and put the green wire with the other and it worked great. One small issue was that no matter how hard I tried. I could not get the cord's green wire to reach the green screw and also allow the other wires to be attached. I solved this by not putting cord wires through hole and bending metal cover. Oh and I cannot stress enough to make sure that breaker is off. I asked wife, a few days back, to check and see if dryer had it's on breaker and for some reason I assumed that she flipped it off but didn't see that she didn't until i was done and went to turn it back on. I know I turned 7 shades of pale when I saw I was flirting with 220v
You should install a strain relief for the wires as they pass into the back of the dryer. This especially important on a dryer since they vibrate so much.
Great video one final thing to add. The wiring for 3 and 4 plug hookups are in the owner manual for the dryer. I recommend you check it out just incase you dryer requires an extra step. For example my Samsung dryer had a green yellow wire tied to chassis ground and somewhere internally to neutral for the previous three wire configuration. I had to tie the yellow green to the neutral leg to isolate chassis ground and the neutral leg.
Just found this video! Thank you so much for making it 💕 i suck at reading directions so i was really nervous to change my dyer cord and you made it stress free!!
this was amazing. Thank you. watched it for like 2 minutes and was able to do it myself. Straight forward video with quick but still detailed information. Thanks Sendy
I rarely comment on YT videos but this was great. Other videos on this topic were trying too hard to educate instead of getting to the point of HOW TO DO IT
Went from a 3 prong to a 4 prong on my samsung dryer... the original wasnt color coded and after watching your video... IT WAS A BREEZE! THANK YOU! For making this tutorial for us men! You effin rock!
Sendy, thanks for making this video! I just bought a new washer and dryer and discovered that the new cord I bought for my dryer would not fit into my old wall receptacle, so I will have to buy a new updated receptacle for that. Another thing I noticed is how easy it was to attach the "relief" that holds the power cord in-place. The cord relief that came with the cord will not fit properly to the bracket on the back of my dryer, so that will be another project :)
nice video, sendy. electric cookstoves have the identical wiring procedure. ground screws are always green. on older dryers. there is a strap, or jumper from the neutral to the dryer case or ground. remove it! if you can't find a green ground screw (older machines) attach the green ground wire to the dryer/stove case. the code changed 20 years ago, nice to see people doing it right. women are more thorough about tasks like the one shown. hard to believe these appliances were incorrectly connected to a power source for decades.
Ok smarty , gotta 3 prong, green, not white going to ground screw. 4 prong has green white red black. Do I place original, ( from dryer) green, onto the middle screw with white wire from 4 prong, or do I place dryer green wire together with green wire from 4 prong ? Anxious to hear reply
Your video was excellent ! Thank you for your help on my dryer! You saved me from Alot of stress and a very unnecessary bill!!!! Not to mention burning my house down wiring it wrong!
You are very talented and should continue making educational video's. I believe you can make a living at educating in either blogs or video"s because you are well spoken, pretty, funny and witty.
Great job 👏👍 Your video was very helpful. Only minor suggestion is to use a better quality microphone 🎤for the room. Your audio in the basement actually pretty good. Thank again
2:36 1.) put it in the hole 2.) screw it really quick 3.) make sure its nice and tight 4.) 2:11 pull out method ... are we talking about dryers here? lol
Thanks so much, very helpfull step by step, just became the hero of the day this morning for my daughter that had been without a dryer for a month, I came to visit and there, I told her to subscribe to your channel,,,,
Im pretty it's a ground because when i switched my plug that "neutral wire" like she called it was attached to the ground (green screw). Hooked it up to the ground and my dryer works fine.
Damn I feel dumb here I am spending 3 straight days running all over Home Depot and lowes wondering wth to do and this video makes it look as simple as changing out a light bulb haha thank you very much! Only on TH-cam will you find a beautiful girl who outsmarts all the Home Depot and lowes workers haha
Pretty good video short of the need to use a cord connector to protect the wires. Without one the wires will rub and the insulation will wear off. This will cause a fire hazard.
Most vids I fast forward and try to catch here in there what I need to do.lol Why? Because I’m impatient. But, with this video, I listened all the way through. Yeah, she was very helpful and very beautiful. Too bad all my teachers in college weren’t as kind and beautiful as her. Maybe I would’ve paid attention and learned a lot more lol but thanks for the video. My dryer is good to go now
Boyoyoying!!! I have this exact problem, but I am going to just buy a new receptacle to accommodate the old three-prong plug. It's cheaper than an adaptor or new cord. Of course I didn't discover that I had this problem until I had moved the dryer into its place... The screw terminals inside the dryer are actually color coded so that you don't have to reference the colors of the wires leading away from them. The neutral/white wire goes to the shiny chrome screw terminal, and the two hot wires/red and black go to the brass colored screw terminals. Light switches and receptacles/outlets are like this too. The one thing I see in this video which reinforces my not installing a four prong cord, is that white wire inside the dryer. Is that wire there as a sort of ground, since the dryer doesn't use a grounded connection to line power? Should you leave that white wire disconnected, (and covered with heat shrink or something suitable) when connecting the green wire to the dryer chassis? I suspect that having them both connected is shorting the neutral line to ground, and my understanding is that you don't want the neutral and ground co-mingling anywhere in your house, except for inside your main breaker box. But I don't know this for sure, and that is why I will just change the receptacle and leave the ground disconnected inside of the receptacle's plastic device box. Too bad you won't be there to help me change the receptacle, I'd love to be doing some of those nice things, you alluded to in the video, with you!
@@eloquent-nuance I didn't molest the dryer. I instead got an outlet/ receptacle which matches the dryer's plug configuration. It works fine. I figure the dryer worked fine for the people I bought it from, so why mess with it. I knew I could turn off a circuit breaker and change the receptacle without any hassle or unknowns. When I have to get a new dryer, I'll put a grounded receptacle back in to accommodate it.

billy Bob there’s literally nothing left out as long as you follow the video you’re good
I work at Lowes and recommend this video to my customers!
I was about to hire and electrician cause he scared me to believe I needed him lol
@@cmsa1r Right! Mine was charging $110 to do it. I said nope and found this video real fast😂

Crusty?
Nahson you punk bitch.
Sendy, beautiful woman& video, well made, great instructions, but why all the suggestive comments: put into hole, screw it, nice & tight, etc, etc? LOL
Wow. You are very smart and beautiful. Thanks for the video
This woman!!! Love her!! A skilled teacher, for sure. Thank you for going step-by-step and filming so that we can see what you're doing!!
You're awesome! Thanks for your kind words!!💖

Lol is your method still working? Has your partner figured it out yet?👀
You took what would have been a stressful situation into an easy peezy project, so helpful. Thanks a million.
Never seen any of your videos before, but this one saved me some headache thinking I had yet *another* moving stress to take care of.
Thank youuuu!
Thank you so much for being the only video out of 10 to help me actually do what I needed to do. You didn't sit around and talk AT me about things that aren't important for changing the wire like all of the men did. I really, really appreciate it!!
She also didn’t warn you that you could kill yourself doing it and how serious of a situation it was….
im a electrician very well prepared n simple good tutorial keep up good work love ur patience
I don't know why but, your video is giving me 2010 feelings and I am loving it girl ❤️
Haha it's prob because im so awkward in front of the camera and my editing skills are mediocre at best😂 thanks for watching &supporting 💖💖

I was looking at 2 prong to 3 prong outlet videos and stumbled across this. Best video, you have a great sense of humor! Post more videos!
I watched 5 handy man videos and this was by far the easiest and most helpful!

Outstanding video! No baloney or jargon, just an easy-peasy explanation! Thank you!
Yours was much more detailed and helpful than ones put out by men! Thank you!!!
Just found this video! Thank you so much for making it 💕 i suck at reading directions so i was really nervous to change my dyer cord and you made it stress free!!

I didn’t either. We should check our bid 🤷🏾♂️

You are very talented and should continue making educational video's. I believe you can make a living at educating in either blogs or video"s because you are well spoken, pretty, funny and witty.
I just moved into a new house and my hubby went out of town soon after. Now I feel confident that I can do this myself!! Thank you!
Sylvia Sinclair yes you can!! let me know if you have any problems!
Different "pull out method" than I normally opt for but both work. Great video 📹 👍🏾
just ran into that problem and searched TH-cam for the solution. I have to run to Walmart in the morning to get a 4-prong cord. Thanks!
Great job 👏👍 Your video was very helpful. Only minor suggestion is to use a better quality microphone 🎤for the room. Your audio in the basement actually pretty good. Thank again
2:36
1.) put it in the hole
2.) screw it really quick
3.) make sure its nice and tight
4.) 2:11 pull out method
... are we talking about dryers here? lol
I am wondering if she can show me in person on how to do all them steps????
Im glad I'm not alone thinking this way hahs
RearAdmiralTootToot lol
RearAdmiralTootToot I was thinking the same thing !
This just saved me a lot of hassle and worry! Thanks so much
Great video! The others made me want to give up and hire someone but you made is so easy!
Thank You for having the same dryer that I have! It was so simple! 😀👍
You're truly gorgeous Wendy!!
Thank you so much. I didn't blow myself up and it's all because of you!
You saved my life! I was about ready to buy a new dryer...
😳🤭🤣👏🏻🙏🏻

Thanks!! I am pretty sure that I can do this without asking my dad to do it!! Lol... he would be so proud of me!! :)
Jessica Rumans you can! let me know if you need any help!
Great video. Simple and straight to the point. Thanks.
Thank you so much. Your video was the most helpful that I found. It really goes into detail.
julissa guerrero no problem girly! thanks for watching!!
I'm a guy and I picked your video over everyone. Great video thanks
Thanks! But are you sure the "white neutral wire" is not a ground wire?
Im pretty it's a ground because when i switched my plug that "neutral wire" like she called it was attached to the ground (green screw). Hooked it up to the ground and my dryer works fine.
Thank You for your video. It was really helpful, and easy to follow.
Great job. Loved your video, very informative and to the point. Hope to see more videos from you.
What kind of Camera do you use? it is sharp!
Good video. I like how you twist the screwdriver with one hand, so you obviously know what you're doing.
I just want to leave a comment saying I looked at several videos mostly men confused the hell out of me you simple to the point and I did it right
Thank you! Saved me a trip to lowes!
saw your video great presentation hope you make more
omg finally! A video I understand thank you so much. Gonna do my dryer today! 💕
Thanks, solid vid! Couldn't figure out the green wire :)
Amen sister! You DO NOT NEED A MAN! Thanks for the video! Now I just pray the outlet is still functioning!
Such a cool video.i liked the captions alot. I had to subscribe
Cutest electrician ever! 👍👍👍
You could probably install a new garbage disposal or dishwasher. They are wired similar.
That humor is great for sports also 😆
Thank you so much for sharing this!!! You were right...I didn't need a man and it worked 😃
This is a simple, well explian video, great job!!!!
I have my ground wire connected, but the screw won't go any tighter. Will this hurt anything?
I’m only 14 but still I’m impressed, not slot of people know how to do that kind of change to a 240 volt appliance
nice video.. but i have a 4 prong dryer and new house has 3 prong outlet?
Damn I feel dumb here I am spending 3 straight days running all over Home Depot and lowes wondering wth to do and this video makes it look as simple as changing out a light bulb haha thank you very much!
Only on TH-cam will you find a beautiful girl who outsmarts all the Home Depot and lowes workers haha

Nice demonstration. Go girl!
My God,,,,you know how to fix things and you re amazingly beautiful !!! Olala
Hello..I did everything the way you did but it still isn't working..is there something else I need to do or take it to someone?
Subscribed - thank you for this. Helped me a bunch.
Girrrrrl bless you! So easy im gonna do this first thing tomorrow
Sicily Wilson ahh bless YOU for watching!!
You saved me money! This worked like a charm.
Maybe put a light in your basement for better illumination during ur DIY videos. Good job.
She literally made it easy thank u
You just saved my life
Boyoyoying!!!
I have this exact problem, but I am going to just buy a new receptacle to accommodate the old three-prong plug. It's cheaper than an adaptor or new cord.
Of course I didn't discover that I had this problem until I had moved the dryer into its place...
The screw terminals inside the dryer are actually color coded so that you don't have to reference the colors of the wires leading away from them. The neutral/white wire goes to the shiny chrome screw terminal, and the two hot wires/red and black go to the brass colored screw terminals. Light switches and receptacles/outlets are like this too.
The one thing I see in this video which reinforces my not installing a four prong cord, is that white wire inside the dryer.
Is that wire there as a sort of ground, since the dryer doesn't use a grounded connection to line power?
Should you leave that white wire disconnected, (and covered with heat shrink or something suitable) when connecting the green wire to the dryer chassis?
I suspect that having them both connected is shorting the neutral line to ground, and my understanding is that you don't want the neutral and ground co-mingling anywhere in your house, except for inside your main breaker box. But I don't know this for sure, and that is why I will just change the receptacle and leave the ground disconnected inside of the receptacle's plastic device box.

I don't own a dryer but I'm gonna watch this anyway. 😎
Straight and to the point thank you
I live by the pull out method! Lmao. Anyway great video, thanks so much.
Thank you girl!!!🤗 Such a helpful video👍🏾💯
Your video was super helpful! I am quite handy around the house, but I had no idea how to convert the 3 prong to a 4 prong. You saved me about $150!
please do more videos like this one .
Good video. Also you’re very funny! Lol.
Exactly what I needed. Great video.....and you're just beautiful🤦♂️
