ELECTRIC DRYER ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Connecting 3-Wire Connection: Direct Wire
Use where local codes permit connecting cabinet-ground
conductor to neutral wire.
Direct wire cable must have 5 ft. (1.52 m) of extra length so dryer
can be moved if needed.
Strip 3⁄" (89 mm) of outer covering from end of cable. Strip
insulation back 1" (25 mm). If using 3-wire cable with ground wire,
cut bare wire even with outer covering. Shape ends of wires into a
hook shape.
Connecting Neutral Wire
1. Loosen or remove center terminal block screw (A).
2. Place hooked end (hook facing right) of neutral wire (white or
center wire) (D) cable under center terminal block screw (B).
Squeeze hooked end together. Tighten screw.
3. Place hooked ends of remaining direct wire cables (hooks facing
right). Squeeze hooded ends together and tighten screws.
Finally, re-install terminal block cover and tighten hold-down
screw. Tighten screws. Go to “Complete Installation” section.
