I recently moved, and just changed my dryer's power cord from a four prong to a three prong. I'm almost positive it is connected correctly. It runs as normal and heats, but now it makes a rattling noise, almost like you can hear the drum rotating and whirring. Could this just simply be the bearings? Would anything occur that would let me know that I hooked up the cord incorrectly, like a noise or something? I would assume hooking up the cord incorrectly would result in it not working, blowing a fuse, or worse, but not making a rattling noise. Afraid to run the dryer and just want to be sure it's not going to ignite!

I believe if you had hooked it up wrong the breaker would have tripped. It's pretty simple to hook up a new cord and I would bet you did so correctly. Most likely something happened to the dryer during the move that has caused it to be noisy. It could be something as simple as the cabinet rattling or a bearing.
