The dryer frame is grounded to the neutral conductor at the terminal block.
A
4-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTION
is required for new or remodeled construction,
mobile homes, or if local codes do not permit grounding through neutral. If the 4-wire
system is used, the dryer frame cannot be grounded to the neutral conductor at
the terminal block. Refer to the following instructions for 3 and 4-WIRE SYSTEM
CONNECTIONS.
Remove the terminal block cover plate.
Insert the power cord with a UL-listed strain relief through the hole provided in the cabinet
near the terminal block.
A strain relief must be used.
Do not loosen the nuts already installed on the terminal block. Be sure they are tight.
