Please read Electrical requirements and grounding instructions on pages 20 – 21 first. Electric models of the dryer are manufactured for a 3-wire connection system. The dryer frame is grounded by a link to the neutral conductor on the dryer terminal block. If local codes do not permit grounding through the neutral, the grounding link from the terminal block must be removed and a separate ground wire must be used.

The grounding link on the dryer must be removed for all 4-wire installations including new, remodelled construction, or mobile homes.

These Electrical Connection instructions provide for installing the dryer in the following situations:

3-wire connection where local codes permit grounding through the neutral.

3-wire connection plus separate grounding connector where local codes do not permit grounding through the neutral.

4-wire connection.

Each of the above connections can be made with an approved power supply cord or by direct wiring. Each connection instruction identifies the appropriate Power Supply Cord and covers requirements for direct wiring.

For 3-wire connections by power cords

3-wire power supply cord must have three 10 AWG copper wires and match a 3-wire receptacle of NMEA Type10-30R.
