(Four-Wire Power Cord)
IMPORTANT: Use only a U.L. listed No. 10 AWG
(copper wire only) four conductor power supply cord
kit rated 240 Volts (minimum) 30 Amperes and
labeled as suitable for use in a clothes dryer unit.
NOTE: The power cord is not supplied with the dryer
unit when the dryer unit is shipped from the factory,
therefore, disregard steps 2 and 3 below when
connecting a four-wire power cord to a new dryer
unit.
If the dryer unit has a three-wire cord attached, then
complete steps 1 through 12.
1. Remove the screw holding the access plate to the rear
of the dryer unit cabinet.
2. Remove the three screws holding the three wires to
the terminal block terminals. Save these screws.
3. Loosen the strain relief screw and pull the cord or
wires out through the rear of the dryer unit.
4. Remove the terminal bracket ground screw holding
the ground wire to the terminal block mounting
bracket. Save the screw.
NOTE: ON NEW DRYER UNITS, this is the ground
wire that goes from the neutral (center) terminal on
the terminal block to the mounting bracket.
Install four-wire power cord
5. Route the end of the four-wire power cord through
the strain relief. DO NOT tighten the strain relief
screws at this time.
6. Insert the end of power cord and strain relief through
the hole in the rear of the dryer unit cabinet. Install
the strain relief nut from the inside of the cabinet and
tighten firmly.
7. Attach the green ground wire (from the four-wire
power cord) to the terminal block mounting bracket
using the hex head screw removed in Step 4. Tighten
the screw firmly.
8. Using the three wire-binding (10-32x3/8") screws
from the accessories envelope located inside the
cylinder (unless the screws were previously removed
in Step 2), attach the power cord wires to the terminal
block terminals as follows:
a. Red to Red
b. Black to Black
c. White to White (see NOTE below)
NOTE: When installing the white wire, loop the free
eyelet end of the ground wire (from Step 4) and place
it together with the white wire and attach both wires
to the neutral (center) terminal on the terminal block.
See following page.
IMPORTANT: Failure to tighten the nuts firmly on
the terminal block may result in power cord wire
failure.
9. Tighten the two strain relief screws to secure the
power cord.
10. Recheck all screws to be sure they are tight.
11. Check the continuity of the ground connection before
plugging the cord into an outlet. Use an acceptable
indicating device connected to the center grounding
pin of the plug and the green screw on the back of the
cabinet. See illustration on following page.
12. Reinstall the access plate and screw to the rear of the
dryer unit cabinet.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
disconnect the electrical power to the dryer
unit before proceeding.
