Step 3

  • Use your Phillips #0 screwdriver to remove the back panel concealing the wires. It is located directly above where the power cable feeds into. It is held in place with one 3.2 mm screw. Once you remove that screw it should unhook from the slots that they are latched onto.

  • Use the Phillips #0 to loosen the two 6mm screws that secure the clamps holding the wires in place. Simply loosening them and maneuvering them out of the hole will suffice.

Step 7

  • Notice that the grounding wire screw is a 3.2 mm screw compared to the other ones at 2.2mm. It is important to keep them separated. In the event that you lose a 2.2mm screw, there should be a spare screwed into the back of your dryer.

Step 8

  • Feed the new power cable into the wire hole, and screw the cables in from reverse order using the proper corresponding screws. Note that the white cables are stacked on top of each other. In that case the wire coming from the dryer goes under the wire from the new cord.

The spare screw note was a life saver. Didn’t even notice that was there and was scrambling to find a replacement before I found this guide.

I have an existing manufacturer power cord that has no color coded wires. They’re all gray and homogenous. Can’t distinguish one from the other. What do I do? I uninstalled this cord thinking that I needed to replace it with a different cord but found out that it would actually work so I reinstalled it not knowing that it required a specific color code installation.
