Quoted from TreyBo69:True, it wouldn't set his house on fire as is. Buuuut if the neutral wire gets damaged, then the metal lockdown bar will shock you and possibly electrify the metal surface of other things connected on the same circuit.
Dryers are shipped from the factory with neutral bonded to ground because its less dangerous than neutral to neutral in a home with no neutral. Take a guess how many folks read the directions and wire it correctly in a home with a neutral wire.
