The other wire of the dimmer will connect to the other primary lead of the transformer. The other pole of the switch connects to the second lead to the popper's heating element. The other will connect to one lead from the heating coil in the popper and a primary wire to the transformer. One of the hot leads will connect to one pole of the switch and the dimmer. NOTE TO SELF: correct your wiring diagram as you used green for the power wire, dummy. If you're using a cord with a three prong plug on it as I did, the other two will be the 'hot' wires. The 16 gauge extension cord I used had a three prong plug - meaning it included a ground wire. Keep in mind that green is used for a safety ground in AC wiring. You need four total or two pair of wires from the popper to the control box, and a pair of wires leading to a power plug. Mount the switch, dimmer, and transformer into your four gang box. You may notice a knot in the new white power cord which should act as a strain relief.
