The original 4 prong is lost so we bought a new one. ALL of the cords in the dryer are BROWN. The 3 prong is numbered (1-2-3), but that doesn't help me now. The new cord is colored and I have no idea which goes where. Assistance is GREATLY appreciated. Thank you.

Give them your model number and they should be able to advise you how to do this. It is something you want to get right.

I actually called the store that sold us the dryer and spoke w/ a tech rep... green is ground and goes w/ the green and yellow wire. White goes in the middle (there were 3 wires/screws and they were all brown) and red and black go on either side and it didn't matter. Installed on Monday and thankfully it all works.
