n

   To contact a qualified electrical installer.

n

   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.

n

   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.

n

   Do not use an extension cord.

n

   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 in “Electric Installation.”
n

   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, see “4-Wire Direct Wire  

Connection.”

n

   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 

after 1996, (2) mobile homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and 

(4) areas where local codes prohibit grounding through the 

neutral conductors.

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

clothes dryers. The kit should contain:
n

   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.

n

   A UL listed strain relief.

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.

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.

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

and be:
n

   Flexible armored cable or nonmetallic sheathed copper  

cable (with ground wire), covered with flexible metallic  

conduit. All current-carrying wires must be insulated.

n

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

5 ft. (1.52 m) long.
