Can you wire a external and an internal ground together on a drier?

The ground wire should go from the dryer directly back to the distribution panel. An external ground wire is not required. The ground wire that is in the cord set that is connected to the frame of the dryer and the ground wire that is in the feeders coming from the distribution panel, that is connected to the ground terminal in the dryer receptacle, is all that is required to satisfy the code requirement.


Is an adapter to go from a 3 prong dryer outlet to a 4 prong dryer cord available for purchase?

I would not recommend trying to use an extension cord for a dryer. the better option is to either buy a longer cord that is properly sized to deal with the extra distance or have an electrician come out and either move the outlet or custom make you a longer cord for your dryer.

Can the cord on an electric heater be lengthened?

Yes, but with a heavier gauge wire <<>> If the cord on an electric heater needs to be lengthened as a perminant feature then the whole cord should be replaced with a new cord of the same type and wire size. What this prevents is aquiring bad splice connections at the point the connection is made. Bad splice connections will create hot spots in the cable. If the lengthening of the cord is just a temporary fix, just use an extension cord. The extension cord should be the same wire size as the heater cord. Keep the extension cord under 20 feet in length.

Where is the chassis of a dryer?

The chassis of a dryer is what you see when you look at the dryer. It is a frame work of metal that contains the rotating drum and motor assembly. When you ground a dryer it is this framework that the ground wire, from the cord, is connected to.


Which colors are hot on a 4 prong dryer cord?

A four blade dryer plug cord should have a red, black, white, and green wire in the cord set. The red and black wires are the ones that deliver the 240 volts to the dryer. Black and white deliver control 120 volts to the dryer and also drive the motor to turn the dryer drum. On some dryers they use the red and white for the motor and black and white for the control. As for the green it is always the ground wire.


How to connect two wires together?

You can solder them after using a western splice connection. You can use a mechanical butt splice and you can connect the wires together with a wire nut after twisting the wires together. All you have to remember is that the insulation of the splice has to be equal to the wire insulation or greater.
