According to the NEC National Electrical Code, it is now required to isolate the neutral conductor from the appliance frame or chassis It used to be allowable and therefore common practice to use the neutral as a grounding means by incorporating a link between the neutral and the chassis The answer to this safety issue was to require a separate grounding conductor in the cable feeding the appliance The NEC allows the replacement of the new four prong cord with a three prong cord for appliance replacements in existing installations only! It is then required, when the cord is thusly replaced, to establish the frame grounding link from the chassis to the neutral In the present case, the cord has a 10-50P male cord connector and the receptacle is a 10-50R receptacle device. These are standard NEMA configuration designations.

"W" gets the neutral As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed Before you do any work yourself on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB SAFELY AND COMPETENTLY REFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
