How To Install A Clothes Dryer Pigtail

Installing a pigtail, or an electrical cord, on your clothes dryer is basically the same as installing one on your oven. The actual cord cap looks different than the one for the oven but they wire up the same way. Here is how to do this.

There is an access plate on the back of the dryer that you must remove to get to the electrical connections.  There is a small hole close to the access for your pigtail wires to go through. You will need to put a connector in this hole. There are normally three lugs that your pigtail wires will hook to. The two outside wires will be the two hot wires and the middle one will be the ground/neutral.

If you have a four prong pigtail there will be four pigtail wires and four lugs on the dryer terminal block. Green is always ground and white is always neutral. Sometimes on the house wiring a white will be serving as a hot on 240 volt circuits.

Tighten the lugs on the terminal block and replace the access cover.
