Alternate electrical
connection
Disconnect power supply cord from
electric supply before making these
changes.
Electrical ground is required on this
appliance.
This appliance is manufactured
with
the
neutral terminal connected to the frame.
If local codes permit the use
of a flexible-type power
supply cord (pigtail) and:
1. DO NOT permit connection of the
frame grounding conductor to the
neutral wire of the power supply
cord:
a. Remove terminal block cover.
b. Remove the ground wire (green)
from the green ground screw and
fasten under center silver-
colored terminal block screw.
See Figure 8.
Connect separate copper ground wire
from green ground screw to approved
ground.
c. Connect a separate copper
ground wire (No. 10 minimum)
to a grounded cold water pipe*
by means of a clamp and then to
the frame of the appliance at the
green ground screw. Use Part
No. 685463 ground wire and
clamp assembly. Do not ground
to a gas supply pipe. Do not
connect the power supply cord
to electric power supply until
appliance is permanently
grounded.
d. Replace terminal block cover.

*Grounded cold water pipe must have
metal continuity to electrical ground
and not be interrupted by plastic, rubber
or other electrical insulating connectors
(such as hoses, fittings, washers or
gaskets, including water meter or
pump). Any electrical insulating
connector should be jumped as shown
in Figure 9 with a length of No. 4 wire
securely clamped to bare metal at both
ends.

Alternate Exhaust
Methods
There are exhaust kits
available that
allow you to
direct filtered exhaust
air inside to conserve energy during
winter months. You may use these
devices with the Laundry Center dryer
providing their use does not violate
national or local codes, and the device
does not restrict exhaust air flow. If you
use one of these kits, be aware that
excessive moisture in the home can
cause many problems and that you may
see an increase in the time required to
dry a load. Also, you must maintain the
kit installation properly to avoid
excessive lint buildup, which can affect
the dryer's performance.
For mobile home installa-
tion, the dryer must have an
outside exhaust. If you
exhaust the dryer through the floor and
the area under your mobile home is
enclosed, the exhaust system must
terminate outside the enclosed area.
Extension beyond the enclosure will
prevent lint and moisture buildup under
the mobile home. See Figure 7.

Local codes DO NOT permit
the use of a power supply
cord and:
1. Permit connection of the frame
grounding conductor to the neutral
wire of the power supply cord:
a. Remove the terminal block
cover.
b. Install U.L. approved strain relief
(Figure 11) in one inch hole on
dryer back below terminal block
opening.
c. Install copper power supply
cable.
