On 4 wire hook ups Neutral and Earth Ground are separate.

Im getting 120v out of the two rectangler slots on the 4-wire receptacle. when I check for voltage on the red and black wire while its not connected to the dryer I get 120v on each wire. But, when Im connected to the dryer i get 120V on the red wire and no voltage the black. why? Dryer doesnt work at all not even the drum light.

If not then you are reading the same side of the line. Did this used to work or is this a new hook up? Perhaps the following will help http://www.applianceaid.com/electrical_testing_tips.html
