Maytag MGDB755DW Installationsanweisungen

 

■

To contact a qualified 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 specified 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.

 

■

Do not use an extension cord.

 

■

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is 

recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the 

ground path is adequate.

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)

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 4 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 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 3 10-gauge solid 

copper wires and match a 3-wire receptacle of 

NEMA Type 10-30R.

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 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.

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.
