Dryer - 4 Prong To 3 Prong - Electrical - DIY Chatroom - DIY Home ...

I have moved into a dwelling that has a 3 prong outlet for the dryer. My dryer has 4 prongs. So I bought a 3 prong pigtail to swap out the cords. I also bought a separate green wire to connect from the grounding terminal to the center (neutral) terminal to satisfy the grounding requirement. Here is the issue: after removing the 4 prong from the terminal block, there is another green wire that is connected to the grounding terminal that originates from somewhere inside the dryer grouped with a bundle of other wires.

1. What is this other wire and what grounding requirement does it satisfy?

2. Do I ...

a. remove it, then proceed with the connection of the ground terminal to the neutral terminal with the separate wire that I bought?

b. leave it connected, and proceed with the connection with the wire that I bought as stated in (a) above?

c. leave it connected, and forego the connection with the wire I bought?

I have been google searching this particular issue for days and have found plenty of tutorials on swapping a 4 prong with a 3 prong, yet oddly there is never any mention of this other green wire. Can anyone enlighten me so that I can proceed with installing the 3 prong safely? Thank you.
