The 3 wires on the dryer in descending order from top to bottom are black/yellow on top, white in middle, and light blue on bottom. The new 4 prong colors are black, white, red, and green. The green is ground, white is neutral, black and red are hot wires. Can anyone tell me which wires get connected where? Thanks a whole bunch. NOTE: the model is LDE9804ACE
