Mark,

Could you please take down this link before someone emulates your
installation and gets electrocuted?

If someone connects a 220VAC 4-wire dryer with only three wires, leaving the
chassis ungrounded, the chassis would become hot if one of the conductors you
show running unprotected through the sharp metal edge of the case were to
contact the dryer. With time and vibration owing to dryer movement, this
would be a very likely scenario.

With one hand  on the hot chassis, another on a sink or grounded washing
machine, the current would cross their chest and could stop their heart. You
might cause someone to die. Please consider that and do the responsible
thing.
