Wayneh questioned if I had my facts straight. He can argue his point with frigidaire. But he won't. Why? because frigidaire are professionals,

Chill! My question was just a simple one and the only point I was making is that it’s easy to make mistakes working on these things. We all do it, at least I do. If you spend time helping others around here you’ll see that establishing the basic facts sometimes occupies the first 20 posts in a thread. When you’ve made an error yourself, you know what questions to ask.

Given the choice between attaching the neutral to the chassis or not, I think it’s clear that it’s safer to attach it. It should, after all, be equivalent to grounding the chassis as long as the neutral leg of the circuit is not interrupted. A failure that causes either hot line to contact the chassis blows the breaker instead of shocking the user.

I learned the hard way just this summer that, no matter what you’re doing inside the dryer, unplug the damn thing. Several seconds riding old sparky is a hard lesson.
