Speed Queen Dryer Question

[stricklybojack]

.
This is how i wired our new dryer. The green wire seems superfilious. Perhaps a factor in a different installation setting, like a mobile home, as stated in the (not entirely easy to understand) installation guide.
So, does this look right?

If you have a 3 prong

plug ok.

The 4th wire is for new construction or renovation that requires a ground thru neutral as I found out when I moved in my new home April this year.

Power Cord Connection On A New SQ Dryer

Your connections are fine, The green wires are very important and are in the correct positions.

 

Be very sure that the three screws are good and tight, I can't really tell from your picture, but if that is a used power cord and if there is any discoloration where the eyelets are crimped to the copper wire, go get a NEW cord.

 

Question, why do you have an electric dryer in Southern California.

Well,

.
being located on the coast, it is often foggy and damp.
My mother uses the cloths line a lot, but usually in conjuntion with the dryer. So she ends up using the dryer regardless of weather.
I remember when i was a child in this same house my brother using the dryer (a Fridgidaire paired with a 118 washer) to warm his wet suit before surfing in the winter.
