Question about GE DVLR223 Dryers

How do you install a 3 prong power supply cord to a GE Dryer?

I bought a GE Dryer with a 4 prong power supply attached but my electrical supply only has a 3 prong outlet. I managed to salvage a 3 prong power supply cord from my old dryer but it isn't color coordinated, all three wires are the same color. What do I do?

DO NOT CHANGE THE POWER SUPPLY CORD.
you can't change the power supply cord.
the cord came with the dryer is 240v. the three prong is 120v. the dryer will burn up. if you change the power cord without changing the regulator , motor, and the heating element.
you need to get a electrician to run a 240v double breaker from the panel to the dryer.

Hmm, we had the same mismatch on the last electric dryer we owned (currently our dryer runs from free natural gas - I love it!) and found that the dryer was set up to operate from either 220/240 single phase or 120 3 phase and the closest hardware store had precisely the right adaptor about 1 1/2 - 2' long. Yours may be different but I would check the owners manual and if you don't have one, there are several sites from which you can download one.

When you put the cord on the dryer,the white wire goes to the center wire terminal. Black and red go to the 2 outside terminals right and left. The Green ground wire attaches to a ground screw outside the terminal cover.

If your dryer came with a regular grounded cord attached, it is a gas dryer, and you will have to hook up a gas line to the 3/8 pipe nipple at the lower left corner (when viewed from behind). The 4 prong power cord is only used for electric only models. If still unsure, post the model number from the sticker inside the door of the dryer.

Remove the ground strap from the middle terminal block in the dryer. Attach the white wire to this terminal. Take the green wire and attach it to the frame of the dryer. Attach the red wire to the right hand terminal, and the black wire to the left side terminal.
