1. Remove the screws securing the terminal block access
cover and the strain relief mounting bracket located on
the back of the dryer upper corner.
2. Install a U.L. approved strain relief in the entry hole of
the mounting bracket. Finger tighten the nut only at this
time.
3. Remove the green neutral ground wire from the green
ground screw located above the terminal block.
4. Thread a U.L. approved 30 amp power cord, NEMA 14-30
type ST or SRDT through the strain relief.
5. Attach the green power cord ground wire to the cabinet
with the green ground screw.
6. Attach the white (neutral) power cord conductor from the
power cord and the green ground wire from the dryer
harness to the silver-colored center terminal on the
terminal block. Tighten the screw securely.
7. Attach the red and black power cord conductors to the
outer brass-colored terminals on the terminal block.
Do not make a sharp bend or crimp wiring/
conductor at the connections.
8. Tighten the screws securing the cord restraint firmly
