In the previous thread you said the dryer was "now wired with 10/3" I was assuming you meant you repulled it with 10/3wg to upgrade it, or are you meaning 10/2 with ground. If it is 10/2wg you will gain no benifit from the 4-wire cord/rec. If you have the 10/3wg and 4-wire cord/rec, it will as the others have said avoid the possibility of line voltage on the frame by separating the grounded conductor and EGC.

The first pic shows the bonding strap I spoke of that would be removed with a 4-wire cord/rec. and the EGC from the cord will be attached to the frame.

Sorry for going on, hope this helps.
