Does this wire look like it belongs to the power input???yellow sounds like one of the feeds to the dryer element not the input power, most inputs are : RED/BLACK/WHITE/ and the new 4 wire plugs from N.E.C. ruling is the GREEN SAFETY GROUND wire

Black, white, red, wires on motor and the connect

White is always neutral so I am going to say hook it to brown, unless you have another white wire.

Black on a motor is usually high speed, so hook it to black
Red is usually low speed to hook it to yellow. If you do not get
high speed then hook black to yellow and red to black

Changing from 3 prong to 4 prong

The red and the black are interchangeable, they are your hot wires, but the white must go on the white that is your neutral wire. Let me explain the green wire. That is your ground. In the past the dryer would use the neutral as its grounding means if something in the dryer ever shorted out (which is a very unsafe situation), so now they decided to separate the wires and have that green wire as the ground wire which is also why there is a 4th prong on your plug. So to hook that up you need to remove the jumper that may be going from the neutral bar to the frame. There is usually a terminal for that ground wire, but if there is not you need to attach that green wire to the frame of the dryer (metal screws usually do the trick, you can also use a screw and bolt if you can find a piece of frame inside the wiring compartment).

Used maytag electric dryer installation question

First off, you should be wiring your power cord directly to the terminal block inside the dryer. If someone just cut off the cord that is terminated inside the dryer, and you are attempting to splice the new cord onto the old one.. you are making a mistake.. take the new cord and bond it directly to the terminal block inside the dryer. If you have a new 4-wire power cord, you are probably dealing with a red/black/white and green wire. ( assuming it is a four prong plug).. The black and red wires are the power lines themselves and should mate with the red and black wires inside the dryer. The green ( is frame ground) and is normally bonded to a stud near the terminal block or the dryer frame. The white is the neutral line and is normally tied to the terminal in the middle and between the red and black tie points.. In line splices should not be done on this appliance.. Hope this helps..

GE Easycare Wiring Specs

Not sure what part of the machine component you are referring to but generally the colours mean the following using 240 volts:

Red=Active
Black=Neutral
Green or Green/Yellow=Earth (ground)
White=Switched Active (Become active via a switching component).

I think you should clarify what your attempting to wire up before proceeding.
