Dear kstalker1974,

The following is to assist you and ensure your dryer cord is hooked up properly. Once you have hooked up the cord properly do not apply any power until you have carefully looked over all visible connections.

For Three Prong Cords the Center cord wire goes on the center terminal, the left on the left and the right on the right.

Note: There should be a ground strap or wire that runs from the center terminal to the dryer case.

For Four Prong Cords the White cord wire goes in the center, the Red on the Right and the Black on the Left.

The green cord wire goes to the case or the external ground screw.

Note: Be sure to disconnect the ground wire or strap that runs from the center terminal to the case.

If you smell anything burnt yet cant tell where it is coming from you may consider having a local appliance technician come to your home.
