■

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. 

A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from: 
National Fire Protection Association, 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. 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 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.

■

If local codes do not permit the connection of a cabinet 
ground connector to the neutral wire, see “Optional 3-wire 
connection” section. 

■

This dryer is manufactured with a 3-wire, cabinet-ground 
conductor connected to the NEUTRAL (white or center wire) 
of the wiring harness at the terminal block.

■

Use a 4-wire conductor cord when the dryer is installed in a 
mobile home or an area where local codes do not permit 
grounding through the neutral.

Use a UL approved power supply cord kit marked for use with 
clothes dryers. The kit should contain:

■

A UL approved 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 approved strain relief.

Then choose a 4-wire power supply cord with ring or spade 
terminals and UL approved 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 
14-30R. 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 approved strain relief. The 3-wire power supply 
cord, at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long, must have 3, No.-10 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 non-metallic sheathed copper 
cable (with ground wire), protected 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.

      For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:
This dryer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction 
or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock 
by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This 
dryer uses a cord having an equipment-grounding 
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged 
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and ground-
ed in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

      For a permanently connected dryer:
This dryer must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent 
wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor must be 
run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equip-
ment-grounding terminal or lead on the dryer.

 Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service representative or 
personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the dryer is proper-
ly grounded. Do not modify the plug on the power supply cord: 
if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
