ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS –
U.S.A. ONLY
It is your responsibility:
■ To contact a qualied electrical installer.
■ To be sure that the electrical connection is adequate
and in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/
NFPA 70 – latest edition and all local codes and ordinances.
The National Electrical Code requires a 4-wire power supply
connection for homes built after 1996, dryer circuits involved
in remodeling after 1996, and all mobile home installations.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:
National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park,
Quincy, MA 02269.
■ To supply the required 3- or 4-wire, single-phase, 120-/
240-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only electrical supply (or 3- or 4-wire,
120-/208-volt electrical supply, if specied on the serial/rating
plate) on a separate 30-amp circuit, fused on both sides of the
line. Connect to an individual branch circuit. Do not have a fuse
in the neutral or grounding circuit.
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, and have a temperature rating of 140ºF (60ºC)
minimum. The cord should be type SRD 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.
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.
■ This dryer is manufactured ready to install with a 3-wire
electrical supply connection. The neutral ground conductor
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 conductor must be
removed from the external ground connector (green screw) and
secured under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of the
terminal block. When the neutral ground conductor is secured
under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of the terminal
block, the dryer cabinet is isolated from the neutral conductor.
■ If local codes do not permit the connection of a neutral
ground wire to the neutral wire, see “Optional 3-wire
connection” section.
■ 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.
4-wire
receptacle
(14-30R)
If your outlet looks like this:
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
solid copper wires and match a 4-wire
receptacle of NEMA Type 14-30 R. The ground
wire (ground conductor) may be either green or
bare. The neutral conductor must be identied
by a white cover.
3-wire
receptacle
(10-30R)
If your outlet looks like this:
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
solid copper wires and match a 3-wire
receptacle of NEMA Type 10-30R.
■ Do not use an extension cord.
■ If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualied electrician determine that
the ground path is adequate.
