Four-Wire Power Cord

IMPORTANT: Use only a U.L. listed No. 10 A.W.G. (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.

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

If the dryer 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 before proceeding.

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 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.

Installation

8.Using the three wire-binding(10-32 x 3/8") 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 Redb.Black to Blackc.White to White (refer to 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. Refer to Figure 21.

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. Refer to Figure 18.

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