Accidentally cut tinned part of neutral wire on dishwasher
I was installing a new dishwasher for my son yesterday and I accidentally cut the tinned part of the white neutral wire off.
I re-stripped the wire showing copper strands which I then twisted together and proceeded to connect to the power cord white neutral wire together with a yellow wire-nut making sure it was tight and secure.
The black hot wire was connected in the same way ( didn't cut it thank goodness!)
My question is should I re-tin the end of the white neutral washing machine wire or is it ok to have it secured as I mentioned above. * Leave it be?*
Dishwasher ran thru full cycle last night with no problems. ( No wire nut/wires burnt etc)
Thanks for any help.

You are fine as is. It was tinned just to keep strands together. Some dishwasher does not even come tinned.
