electrical Connection
To properly install the dryer, you must
determine the type of electrical connection
you will be using and follow the instructions
provided for it here.
This dryer is manufactured ready to
install with a 3-wire electrical supply
connection. The neutral ground conductor
is permanently connected to the neutral
conductor (white wire) within the dryer. If
the dryer is installed with a 4-wire electrical
supply connection, the neutral ground
conductor must be removed from the
external ground connector (green screw),
and secured under the neutral terminal
(center or white wire) of the terminal block.
When the neutral ground conductor is
secured under the neutral terminal (center
or white wire) of the terminal block, the
dryer cabinet is isolated from the neutral
conductor.
If local codes do not permit the connection
of a neutral ground wire to the neutral wire,
see “Optional 3-wire connection” section.
A 4-wire power supply connection must
be used when the appliance is installed
in a location where grounding through the
neutral conductor is prohibited. Grounding
through the neutral is prohibited for (1)
new branch-circuit installations, (2) mobile
homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and (4)
areas where local codes prohibit grounding
through the neutral conductor.

Dryer electrical requirements
It is your responsibility:
To contact a qualified electrical installer.
To be sure that the electrical connection
is adequate and in conformance with the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70-latest edition and all local codes and
ordinances.
The National Electrical Code requires a
4-wire power supply connection for homes
built after 1996, dryer circuits involved in
remodeling after 1996, and all mobile home
installations.
A copy of the above code standards can
be obtained from: National Fire Protection
Association, One Batterymarch Park,
Quincy, MA 02269.
To supply the required 3 or 4 wire, single
phase, 240 volt, 60 Hz., AC only electrical
supply (or 3 or 4 wire, 120/208 volt electrical
supply, if specified on the serial/rating plate)
on a separate 30-amp circuit, fused on both
sides of the line. A time delay fuse or circuit
breaker is recommended. Connect to an
individual branch circuit. Do not have a fuse
in the neutral or grounding circuit.
Do not use an extension cord.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire
is used, it is recommended that a qualified
electrician determine that the ground path is
adequate.
