Electrical Requirements

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. A time-delay fuse or circuit

breaker is recommended. Connect to an individual branch circuit.

Do not have a fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit.

■ 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.

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 connector

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 dryer 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 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.

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 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.

If your outlet looks like this:

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 solid 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), covered with exible 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.

Choose a standard power supply cord connector:

Flanged spade

connectors

Ring connectors

Mobile home – Additional installation requirements

This dryer is suitable for mobile home installations. The installation must

conform to the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard,

Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile

Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280) or the Canadian

Manufactured Home Standard CAN/CSA-Z240 MH.

■ Metal exhaust system hardware, available for purchase. For further

information, please reference the “Assistance or Service” section of

your “Use and Care Guide.”

■ Special provisions must be made in mobile homes to introduce

outside air into the dryer. The opening (such as a nearby window)

should be at least twice as large as the dryer exhaust opening.
