Steve, there are instructions on the back of the dryer. All new dryers come with a bar connecting neutral to ground. The instructions say to remove bar for 4 wire.
It also says if dryer is used in a mobile home it has to be 4 wire.

I googled looking for anyone has been electrocuted because of 3 wire, couldn't find one article. Wish someone could post a link to an electrocution linked to 3 wire. geo

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener.
