My niece just moved into a house that has a 4-wire wall recept. for the clothes dryer. 2 hot, ground, & neutral. Her dryer has only a
3-wire cord & plug on it. 2-hot and a ground. She went to the local ACE today and they sold her a new cord with the proper plug and told her to replace the old one with it. The cord has 4 wires in it and the man at ACE told her to tie the ground & neutral together at the dryer. Is this OK ??thanx .. .. ..
