The hot wire on a lamp cord will be the the side that has the more narrow prong on the plug-in. Or you can look at the cord and whichever side is smooth, (not ribbed but smooth), is your hot wire.
You have a 3 way switch. Your black wire is the hot wire. Your green wire is the ground wire. Your red and white wires go to the light and other switch. You should have gotten a wiring diagram with your switch.
The white is neutral. The house does have a neutral wire even though it may be black. One of those black wires is the neutral and the other is the hot wire. You will have to determine which is hot and which is neutral. You can easily do this with a voltage tester. The wire that lights the tester is the hot. When you wire the light simply wire the hot to hot, and the white and green to the other wire.
The green or bare wire is typically the ground wire for a dryer plug. If your wires are black, white, and red, the white wire is usually neutral, the black is hot, and the red is also hot. You should double check with a voltage tester to be certain.
Connect the black wire to the hot wire, the white wire to the neutral wire, and the green wire to the grounding screw or terminal on the dishwasher. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and all safety guidelines. If you are unsure, it's best to contact a licensed electrician to complete the wiring.
To splice a cord with white and black wires to a cord with red, green, black, and white wires, first ensure that both cords are unplugged and safe to work with. Connect the black wire from the first cord to the black wire from the second cord (which is typically the hot wire). Connect the white wire to the white wire (the neutral), and if applicable, connect the green wire (ground) to the ground wire (if present). The red wire is often used for a second hot wire or switch leg; ensure it is capped off safely if not in use. Always use electrical tape or wire connectors to secure the connections and ensure safety.
