Make sure that everything inside the electrical panel is neat and in the right place. Strip the wires and then connect each to the correct terminal inside your electrical panel. Make sure that you have enough cable so that you will be able to reach the terminals comfortably. If you don't feel like you can do this project yourself, then you should consult an electrician.

Before doing this, it's essential that you switch the circuit breaker OFF at the main electric panel.

Now you just need to connect this new circuit into your home's electrical panel. The faceplate of the dryer outlet can now be fixed onto the electrical outlet box in the wall. It doesn't matter which way around these go. The remaining terminals now need to be wired up to the black and red wires. The neutral white wire can then be connected to the center silver screw terminal. The earth wire first needs to be connected to the grounding screw, which is normally a bare copper or green wire. Once this has been removed, a standard electrical box can be fitted inside the wall and secured in the normal way, either by screwing or opening the clamps, depending on the type of wall you are fitting it into. Then a chisel can be used to get rid of the piece of plaster in the center of the hole. Use a small saw to cut around the outline of your shape or create several drill holes in sequence around the edge. Hold the box up against the wall where you want it to go and draw around it with a pencil. Just make sure that you are clamping the insulated cable. Feed the cable through the connector and tighten the screws to grip it firmly. The dryer receptacle now needs to be wired up. Then adjust the wire strippers to cut away the inner sheath on the individual cables. Step 3 - Strip WireĬut off the plastic sheath around the outside of the cable, you need to expose about six inches. Chisel a channel in the walls to allow the wires to fit inside. You might choose to run the wires through the ceilings and down the walls, or under the floor. How you decide to do this will depend on the type and age of the property you have. Now it's time to hide the cables so that they're not visible. Run this across the floor so that you can work out the rough route. Start by running the cable out from the location of your electrical panel to where you are installing the dryer outlet.
