Dear natejones,

( If uncomfortable with installation of the cord please contact a qualified technician to come to your home )

Take a look at the outlet on the wall and find the cord to match that outlet.
The only difference between the 3 wire and 4 wire cords in 220v is the 3 wire uses a green grounding strap between the body and terminal block. The 4 wire uses a green wire for the ground. The white wire is the nuetral. The red and black are your L1 and L2 lines.

If you look at the terminal block on the back of the dryer you will see 3 posts.

**4wire power cord**

The white wire (Neutral) will be attached to the center post. The red and black wire (L1 and L2) attach to the two outer posts on the terminal block. The green wire is used in place of the green strap (Ground).

**3 wire power cord**

The 3 wire cord is usually not color coded so just remember to attach the center wire to the center post while the two outer wires attach to the two outer posts . Make sure the green grounding strap is running from the center post on the terminal block to the screw on the body. ( You will see the screw located near the opening to the terminal block on the body)
