(Four-Wire Power Cord)

IMPORTANT: Use only a U.L. listed No. 10 AWG (copper wire only) four conductor power supply cord kit rated 240 Volts (minimum) 30 Amperes and labeled as suitable for use in a clothes dryer unit.

NOTE: The power cord is not supplied with the dryer unit when the dryer unit is shipped from the factory, therefore, disregard steps 2 and 3 below when connecting a four-wire power cord to a new dryer unit.

If the dryer unit has a three-wire cord attached, then complete steps 1 through 12.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect the electrical power to the dryer unit before proceeding.

1.Remove the screw holding the access plate to the rear of the dryer unit cabinet.

2.Remove the three screws holding the three wires to the terminal block terminals. Save these screws.

3.Loosen the strain relief screw and pull the cord or wires out through the rear of the dryer unit.

4.Remove the terminal bracket ground screw holding the ground wire to the terminal block mounting bracket. Save the screw.

NOTE: ON NEW DRYER UNITS, this is the ground wire that goes from the neutral (center) terminal on the terminal block to the mounting bracket.

Install four-wire power cord

5.Route the end of the four-wire power cord through the strain relief. DO NOT tighten the strain relief screws at this time.

6.Insert the end of power cord and strain relief through the hole in the rear of the dryer unit cabinet. Install the strain relief nut from the inside of the cabinet and tighten firmly.

7.Attach the green ground wire (from the four-wire power cord) to the terminal block mounting bracket using the hex head screw removed in Step 4. Tighten the screw firmly.

8.Using the three wire-binding (10-32x3/8")screws from the accessories envelope located inside the cylinder (unless the screws were previously removed in Step 2), attach the power cord wires to the terminal block terminals as follows:

a.Red to Red

b.Black to Black

c.White to White (see NOTE below)

NOTE: When installing the white wire, loop the free eyelet end of the ground wire (from Step 4) and place it together with the white wire and attach both wires to the neutral (center) terminal on the terminal block. See following page.

IMPORTANT: Failure to tighten the nuts firmly on the terminal block may result in power cord wire failure.

9.Tighten the two strain relief screws to secure the power cord.

10.Recheck all screws to be sure they are tight.

11.Check the continuity of the ground connection before plugging the cord into an outlet. Use an acceptable indicating device connected to the center grounding pin of the plug and the green screw on the back of the cabinet. See illustration on following page.

12.Reinstall the access plate and screw to the rear of the dryer unit cabinet.
