Connecting the dryer using 4-wire connection (must be used for mobile home installation)
Note: the National Electrical Code requires that new constructions use a 4-wire connection to
an electric dryer (effective as of January 1, 1996). Where local codes do not permit grounding
through the neutral, a 4-wire cord must also be used.
Important!
New constructions must NOT use a 3-wire connection.

Turn off the circuit breaker(s) (30 amp).
2 Ensure the dryer cord is unplugged from the wall outlet.
