NO ..The dryer should be grounded.If there no holes in metal close to the block[hook up] then drill one in the metal close to where you hooked up the other wires in the block.[dryers back panel]Then use a self- threading screw and tighten the screw to the green wire.If there is paint under that screw remove the paint for a good ground.

That green wire goes anywhere on the chassis(body) of the dryer. You really need this to be connected to the dryer. You could use one of those screws that hold the terminal block or just get a screw and make a hole.

Trace it back to where it goes.
If it attaches to the frame then either: Remove it and attach the green from the cord to the machine where the old green machine wire was attached. OR Use a wire nut and attach the green from the cord to the green from the machine.
