Pat bought me a new dishwasher.

On the three wires which one is neutral? on the wall outlet?

If your wiring it direct to a plug.
The white or neutral wire connects to the silver side of the outlet, and the black or hot wire connects to the brass side of the outlet.

My husband is a tard.

He has to make a cord for a dishwasher since it did not come with one.

The outlet is a 3-prong outlet with a ground:

Code:
|     i

   0

The "0" is the ground, he needs to know if the "long blade" is neutral or is it hot?

just stick a multi-meter from ground to either of the prongs to test. Doesn't matter which side is suposed to be hot I have seen more houses wired wrong than correctly :eek:

I figure if the truck breaks down I can scavenge parts off the dishwasher. :D

Seriously, it has the lowest sound level and lowest energy consumption of the models they had at Lowes.
