  • Dryer Cord Color Coding: Understanding 4-Prong Wiring
    It's important to never touch the prongs of a dryer cord while it's plugged in. Electricity is dangerous and can be fatal.

    However, if you're asking about the standard color coding for wiring in a 4-prong dryer cord, here's the breakdown:

    * White: Neutral wire

    * Black: Hot wire

    * Green: Ground wire

    * Red: This is the fourth wire and it can be used for either a second hot wire (in a 240-volt system) or a dedicated ground wire.

    Remember: It's crucial to consult a qualified electrician for any electrical work, including examining or working on dryer cords.
