Your new dryer may come with a isolated frame ground, ie, power ground not shorted to the frame.
What!?, a new dryer without a ground to the frame?

That would be a first for me and I have been putting dryer cords on for over 20 years. If the dryer is new I don't believe it would come without a grounded frame.

If the dryer is used then you would need to check to make sure.

What brand of dryer does not come with a grounded frame? Not Whirlpool, Frigidaire, Maytag or LG.

pattyman,

If you unsure just ask the place you are getting the appliances from to install a new three wire dryer corder on your new dryer for you. It should take them all of two minutes to do that for you.
