Switorik ,

I’m an electrician. It is too late but for future reference all new work must be done up to code. An electric dryer requires 10/3 on a 30A breaker that is listed for the panel.

While this is not code compliant, 10/2 will still work but requires you to install the jumper from the neutral to the ground inside the dryer itself.

Ya, I know I need to jump the ground when wiring to power cable for the dryer. I was going to do 10/3 since I had the money for it, but lowes and Home Depot were both sold out when I went to pick it up. Whirlpool told me 10/2 would work so I just went with that in the effort of saving time. New dryer is delivered Tuesday so I want the wiring done before then. The 30a double pole breaker was easy though. Probably the least questionable part of this process
