        Common sense doesn't mean the person whom originally wired it up had the same ...

        Your dryer works on 220 volts. It requires a dedicated circuit. You need a qualified person to hook this up.

          We are not saying that you are dumb .. I have friends whom have been fried fixing things. I would hate to be the person to show you the links you get fried and your family wonders why the hell you touched something that will cost you less than $40 ...If you ring an electrician they will tell you the right or wrong way...
