for your home:
If this type is available at your home. you will be

where local codes prohibit grounding through the
neutral conductor. Failure to do so can result in fire or
electrical shock.
Prepare minimum 5 ft (1.52 m) of length in order for
dryer to be replaced.
First, peel 5 inches (12.7 cm) of covering material from
end. Strip 5 inches of ground wire insulation. After
cutting 1
