ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR GAS DRYERS
Important Warning
To help prevent fire, electric shock, serious injury or death, the wiring and grounding must conform to the
latest edition of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1,
and all applicable local regulations. Please contact a qualified electrician to check your home’s wiring and
fuses to ensure that your home has adequate electrical power to operate the dryer.
Electrical Requirements for Your Dryer:
a) Please note that the wiring diagram is provided inside the dryer control hood. Label all wires prior to disconnection
when servicing the dryer, because wiring errors can cause serious injury to you and your dryer.
b) Your dryer is designed to be used on a separate branch, polarized, three-wire, effectively grounded, 120 Volt, 60
Hertz, AC (alternating current) circuit protected by a 15 Ampere fuse, equivalent fuse or circuit breaker.
c) Use separately fused circuits for washers and dryers, and DO NOT operate a washer and a dryer on the same
circuit.
a) The dryer has a three-prong plug to help guard against shock. The plug should be plugged directed into a properly
grounded three-prong receptacle that is rated 120 Volts AC (alternating current) 15 Amps. This plug, in order to be
properly and fully effective, must be plugged into a properly installed outlet that is grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
b) The dryer must be grounded in order to reduce the risk of electric shock, including a malfunction or breakdown.
c) If your laundry room does not meet the specifications required by this manual, or if you are uncertain whether or not
your laundry room meets these specifications, please have a qualified service person or company.
Review your laundry room’s electrical supply for any problems.
