4 pin dryer to 3 pin (grounding question)?
I have searched the internet thoroughly and have not been able to find a situation just like mine. I am a little nervous about messing with such high voltage stuff but as the price for an electrician was not reasonable i am going to have to do this myself
I have removed the original 4 pin cable which looked like:

I have now connected my 3 pin cable which looks like this:

The part i am having a hard time clarifying is the jumper band (ground strap). My machine does not have a ground strap, but it does have a white wire that goes to a screw outside of the panel is that the grounding my machine or do i need to run a wire from the center of the block to that outside screw?
I just cannot find a definite answer on this.
From this pic does it look like i have done this correctly?

Please let me know if i am good to plug this in or if i need to run an other wire.
Thanks in advance
