Electrical Connection

To properly install your dryer, you must determine the type of

electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions

provided for it here.

If local codes do not permit the connection of a neutral

ground wire to the neutral wire, see “Optional 3-wire
connection” section.

This dryer Is manufactured ready to Install with a 3-wire

electrical supply connection. The neutral ground wire is
permanently connected to the neutral conductor (white wire)

within the dryer. If the dryer is installed with a 4-wire electrical

supply connection, the neutral ground wire must be removed

from the external ground conductor screw (green screw), and

secured under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of

the terminal block. When the neutral ground wire is secured

under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of the

terminal block, the dryer cabinet is isolated from the neutral

conductor,

A 4-wire power supply connection must be used when the

appliance is installed in a location where grounding through

the neutral conductor is prohibited. Grounding through the

neutral is prohibited for (1) new branch-circuit installations,
(2) mobile homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and (4) areas

where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral

conductors.

If using a power supply cord:

Use a UL listed power supply cord kit marked for use with

clothes dryers. The kit should contain:

A UL listed 30-amp power supply cord, rated

120/240 volt minimum. The cord should be type 3RD or

SRDT and be at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long. The wires that
connect to the dryer must end in ring terminals or spade

terminals with upturned ends.

A UL listed strain relief.

If your outlet looks like this:

If your outlet looks like this:

4-wire receptacle (14-30R)

Then choose a 4-wire power supply cord with ring or spade
terminals and UL listed strain relief. The 4-wire power supply

cord, at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long, must have four 10-gauge copper
wires and match a 4-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 14-30R. The
ground wire (ground conductor) may be either green or bare. The

neutral conductor must be identified by a white cover.

3-wire receptacle (10-30R)

Then choose a 3-wire power supply cord with ring or spade
terminals and UL listed strain relief. The 3-wire power supply

cord, at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long, must have three 10-gauge copper

wires and match a 3-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 10-30R.

If connecting by direct wire:

Power supply cable must match power supply (4-wire or 3-wire)
and be;

Flexible armored cable or nonmetallic sheathed copper cable

(with ground wire), protected with flexible metallic conduit. All
current-carrying wires must be insulated.

10-gauge solid copper wire (do not use aluminum).

At least 5 ft (1.52 m) long.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

■ For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:

This dryer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or

breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock

by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.

This dryer uses a cord having an equipment-grounding

conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged

into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and

grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

■ For a permanently connected dryer:

This dryer must be connected to a grounded metal,

permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding

conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and

connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on

the dryer.

WARNING:

Improper connection of the equipment­

grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.

Check with a qualified electrician or service representative

or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the dryer is

properly grounded. Do not modify the plug on the power

supply cord: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet

installed by a qualified electrician.
