About Ground Wires

reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape
wire for the electric current.
Standard accepted color coding for ground wires is
green
or
green with a yellow stripe.
Grounding wires and wires colored like grounding wires
are
NOT
to be used as current carrying conductors.
WARNING
!
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury
or death, all wiring and grounding must conform with
the latest edition of the National Electric Code, or the
Canadian Electrical Code, and such local regulations
as might apply. It is the customer’s responsibility to
have the wiring and fuses checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure your home has adequate
electrical power to operate the dryer.
