The plug is a 4 prong and the wall outlet is a 3 prong. We bought a replacement plug to install on the dryer and are not sure how to wire the new plug. Please help. :confused:

You should put black to black, red to red, white to white , and run a ground wire from the dryer to your metal outlet box or conduit or cold water line ( check into ground strap at your local hardware store .. ) kawfeeman@hotmail.com
