On the middle terminal there is a strap or wire that goes to ground, remove it. You cord should have four wires red, black, white and green. Hook the green one to ground where you removed the strap. Hook the white one to the middle and the red and back to the two outside ones. Hope this helps!! Appliance Repair Guide For All Major Home Appliances[/FONT]
