Bob, are you saying then that I should have just kept the old 3 wire (with no grounding slot!) receptacle on there, and then simply changed out the dryer cord from modern four prong, to outdated 3 prong? Would I not simply be dropping down in safety level by doing this? As I said, the code gives my permission to do this, if I adequately tie the frame via ground to the nuetral slot of the receptacle. Are you getting what I am saying? Please tell me where I'm going wrong. I can paste my textbook instruction I am basing my statements on, if you would like. Thanks....
