Husband and I watching in 2024 and got our dryer hooked up. Thank you!!!!

I seriously cannot say THANK YOU enough!!! My mom and I have spent 10 hours today on this washer/dryer adventure. We had a stacked combo and the dryer went out so we thought it would be easy to just go get a new dryer and keep using the washer that's part of the combo. Once we got home with the new dryer, we realized that the combo also uses a 4 prong plug and so does the new dryer obviously. Our laundry room only has one of those outlets. We had to go back to the store and ended up just buying a washer to go with the dryer. Got home and couldn't even get the washer inside. It was pouring down rain (hoping it actually works- we haven't tried yet). A neighbor walking by helped us get it inside. We tried to drag the stacked combo out of the room and ended up having to take the entire door off the hinges. Now we just got finished watching your video to set our dryer up. Going to plug it in then get the washer hooked up. We might be referencing another one of your videos soon! It has been a DAY. Thank you for the tutorials. I have no idea what I'm doing, but I am very thankful for YouTube and for you!!

After watching many videos on how to do this, the GE dryers are different than others and your video helped us finish off the green wire. Thank you!

Good Morning!! My wife and I just bought a new GE yesterday and had no clue that we needed to buy a power cord. I thought it was the door, opened it and thought...Nope that's not it!!! Took back off computer part and found out it was there either. Because thats where old dryers had plug. So thank you for clearing it up and making sure I know where I need to put each wire. Awesome explanation. You are my new appliance guru!!!

I have watched several videos of how to change my 3 to a 4 on a hotpoint your video is the only one that really helped me! Here goes!

Thank you brother you saved my life. The new dryers from Lowe’s do not come with power supply cord. Took off the 4 prong from my old dryer. Followed your steps and now everything is golden. My wife is happy and now back to Alabama football #RTR

Thank you! First time bew home owner, and my daddy has long passed. The used dryer was a gift I am grateful for, and this helped me out SOOO much!! Thank You!!!!

Thanks for this video. I ordered a brand new dryer and really didn't know much. This is a clean walk through

[Dukemeistro]

Awesome, with one exception: the clamp is supposed to clamp down on the black outer cord covering. It's thickness is made to protect inner wiring, and the heavy duty material of this protective layer can endure clamping pressure, but the inner wires will allow the metal clamp to ware through over time. When clamp wares through, then you have hot wires touching the metal appliance, which can be fatal.

Ty for the video! Just moved into a new place for grad school and realized last night my power cord didn’t match the outlet. You made it easy!

[monicavara]

Thank you so much! Your the only video that I could find that touched on every piece. Very thorough and knowledgeable. I'm a newly single mom and had not a clue on how to do this, so a humongous thank you to you!

[tywhitehead]

Was having a hard time trying to ground the green wire... I am grateful I found your video ❣️

[louise]

Thank you for your video. It'ds been a rough couple of months trying to find a new place. When we finally got a place 1 day before becoming homeless. A week later we go and get our washer and dryer from storage just to find our we need to change the cord. Your video made it seem so much more simpler than the manual. Thank you soo much for providing a little relief of happiness for clean and dry clothes and blankets. Merry Christmas.

I literally went through at least 10 other videos and then I found yours! Thank you for this video! I wasn't sure where to place the green ground wire. You answered that for me.
