My mde7600ayw is a 3 wire 120/240 v 60hz 5600w.

Hello;

My name is Peter. I am a retired field service appliance technician.

You may have a wiring problem. Dryers are wired 3 poll for a 15 Amp fuse or a 4 poll for a 30 Amp fuse.

You either need to change the dryer wiring connection plug or the fuse box amp.

Hi jdebesch
Go to the following webpage and the pictures will show you how to convert you or 3 wire to a 4 wire connection.

Buy a 3 wire cord and install it on the dryer. Hang onto the 4 wire one in case you move again.

You may have inadvertently incorrectly wired the dryer power cord. The following link epxlains the differences between the 3-wire and 4-wire configurations:

Make sure you have the wires connected properly at the terminal block. Pay particular attention to the difference in how the ground and neutral wires are connected. If you have any questions, please post back and let me know. I hope this helps you.

be careful the voltage may be different thats why they make them with different plug configurations. check your dryer voltage requirement. usually the four wire type are for 250vac electric dryers.

Always disconnect electricity before beginning this process.

All the 4 wire cords I have seen are color-coded. The white wire goes to the middle terminal, the green wire goes to any screw you can reach that goes into the metal case of the dyer. The red and black go to the outside terminals of the block and while it doesn't matter which color goes to which terminal I usually follow the color code of the interior dryer wiring that already exists. Good Luck.

Yes, the 120 -240 is the range in which your dryer can operate. Many times the standard for Europe is 230 and the 240 allows for power surges that are common.

There is no "adapter" per se, you MAY be able to swap to a 3-wire cord, however that may be against local code. The only other option in that case would be to have a qualified electrician install the newer 4-wire outlet. You need to find out what you local codes are with regard to this issue. If you do change to a 3-wire cord to macth that outlet, it is critical that it be installed correctly.
