Electrical Requirements – U.S.A.

n

It is recommended that a separate circuit breaker serving only this 

appliance be provided.

n

  To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged 

into a mating, 3- or 4-prong, grounding-type outlet, grounded 

in accordance with local codes and ordinances. If a mating 

outlet is not available, it is the personal responsibility and  

obligation of the customer to have the properly grounded 

outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

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. 

n

Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the 

washer is properly grounded.

n

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

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.

  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. A 

time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. Connect  

to an individual branch circuit. 

n

  Do not use an extension cord.

To properly install your washer/dryer, you must determine the 

type of electrical connection you will be using and follow the 

instructions provided for it here.

n

  This washer/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 (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.

n

  If local codes do not permit the connection of a neutral ground 

wire to the neutral wire, see “Optional 3-wire connection” in 

the “Electrical Connection” section.

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,  

(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:

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.

4-wire 

receptacle 

(14-30R)

3-wire 

receptacle 

(10-30R)

 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 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.

If connecting by direct wire:
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).

n

   At least 5 ft (1.52 m) long.
