Please briefly explain why you feel this answer should be reported.
For a dryer installation with red, black, white, and copper wires, you’ll need a 4-wire dryer outlet. The most common wall mount for this setup is a NEMA 14-30R receptacle. This type of outlet accommodates the specific wiring configuration you mentioned. It’s important to follow safety guidelines and ensure the wires are connected correctly to prevent any electrical hazards. If you need detailed instructions and guidance on installing the dryer plug, consider watching DIY videos or consulting an electrician to ensure a safe and proper installation.
