dryer problems?

Well, looking at your other questions, I think I can answer this one.....

You have two methods of installing the "2 pole 5 wire" clothes dryer.... a permanent installation, and a temporary installation.

First, let's look at the temporary installation, the benefit is that it is much more mobile than a permanent installation, and easily be moved around the house. This can, in fact even help with drying the clothes faster. You will need the assistance of 3 family members... I can't imagine you would be able to get anyone else to help with this..... Individual 1 runs the 5 wires between the two poles, starting from the center of the cross beams of the poles, to the outside.... (don't want to get them tangled up) Attach clothes to dryer by draping, or using a variety of pins. Now, here is where the mobile part comes in.... with a second individual holding one pole, and the third individual holding the second pole during the installation of the wires, and clothes.... have them pull the poles apart, making the wires taught. For faster drying... have them run around the house with the poles. (Good for weight loss too, thus making your clothes dryer a combination dryer/exercise device.)

For a more permanent installation, you could use the neighbor's kids to hold the poles in place.... or.... if you cannot find any extra hands.... then, you can dig a couple of holes down to the frost line, pour concrete in them, and insert the bottom of the 2 poles, one in each hole of cement, thus anchoring them in place. once the cement dries.... then you can attach the 5 wires, as aforementioned. If the dryer is installed outside, then it can be used all season... tho... you will find it takes a bit longer to dry during the rainy season. If you dug the holes in your garage floor, and installed the poles there, then you can use it year round.... provided you can get to it....

For those of you who have frustrated yourselves trying to answer this gent's questions... you should turn to the side now, and ask him to pull your other leg.....

Jason, see my answer for the same question yesterday. You must be frustrated. I assume you live in America. We simply do not have 5 wire dryer circuits. Yes, I have thought a lot about what you asked and I cannot imagine a 5 wire dryer circuit. Send me an email and I would like to help you out. I sense your frustration...or your sick sense of humor. ;) .....UNLESS......

you have some type of multi purpose cord that has two ground wires on it for use in the old 3 wire receptacles and/or dryers. I have not seen or heard of such a cord but it makes sense that someone would make one due to the fact that 99.9% of American homes have the 3 prong receptacle for the dryer and/or older dryers that are not equipped for the new 4 prong cord. Do you have 2 green (Ground) wires of different sizes? If so, the larger green wire is connected to the wiring block of the of the dryer...right? Or at least it is meant to. If you have a small green wire it is meant to connect to the frame of older dryers that do not have the wiring block for the new 4 prong cords. If that is the case, wire your new dryer with the larger green ground to the wiring block and bend back and electrical tape the small ground to the cord. Make sure it is taped off or cut off so there is no possibility that the loose ground can come into contact with one of the hot leads, (wires) Black or Red or really even white. I hope this solves your problem. I was really scratching my head over this one. Which receptacle are you trying to plug into? The 3 prong or 4 prong? Is your house new or older?

Yes Jason....I can hear you laughing from here at my intensity of trying to figure out your "Problem". You got me good!

Never heard of a two pole five wire system for home use.Five wires on an appliance usually mean the have 3 hots,a ground and a neutral.The 3 hots will run a 208-240 3 phase unit and a 430-480 3 phase unit.Never have i heard of a 3 phase dryer for the home.
