Hello, i am having trouble and have looked all over the internet... i have a 4 prong cord on my dryer now but need to place a 3 prong cord (from home depot) in its place so as to fit my 3 prong outlet at my apartment. I know the basics (two outside are hot (black and red)and thus connect them to the outside posts and the center (white) gets the center post. However, my dryer cord had a green wire (from original 4 prong cord) connected to the ground nut (also green in color, weird to see a green nut) on back of dryer. Also, after removing this green wire and the 4 prong cord entirely, there is a second green cord that is connected to this green nut and the other end of this cord dives back into the dryer to what seems a mix of cords coming off the terminal block (the block containing the posts for the 4 prong/3 prong cord hookups).... what do i need to do with this wire that goes back into the dryer? And/or how do i make this safe?
