Maytag Stacked Washer/Dryer Additional Ground Procedure Where Local Code Permits

Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Electric models are shipped with a ground strap connected from the neutral (P2) terminal block post to the frame of the dryer. The use of this strap is permitted by the national electrical code. The dryer electrical supply may be connected by means of a new U.L. listed power supply cord kit rated at 240 volts minimum, 30 amperes with three No. 10 copper wire conductors terminated with closed loop terminals, open-end spade lugs with turned up ends or with tinned leads.

ADDITIONAL GROUND PROCEDURE WHERE LOCAL CODE PERMITS.

A grounding kit (Part No. 12001875) is available. It contains the external ground wire, clamp, ground screw and washer. Where approved, it is recommended this additional ground be installed. A suitable external ground connection MUST be determined prior to wire hookup. Consult local building officials and qualified electrician in event any questions exist. Connect ground wire to back of dryer unit using the grounding screw and washer. Secure other end of the ground wire to a COLD water pipe using the clamp.

NEVER CONNECT GROUND WIRE TO PLASTIC PLUMBING LINES, GAS OR HOT WATER PIPES.

ALL GROUNDING AND WIRING MUST BE DONE IN ACCORDANCE WITH NATIONAL AND LOCAL CODES.

Grounding Instructions

This electric dryer must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system; or an equipment grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding terminal on the back panel.

The power cord must be marked for use with a clothes dryer and be retained with suitable strain relief. If the dryer is to be installed in a mobile home or an area where local codes do not permit grounding through neutral, only 4 conductor power cord, rated and terminated as above, may be used.

The electrical supply circuit should be fused through a 30 ampere fuse or circuit breaker on both sides of the line. The neutral line of the service cord must always be connected to the P2 terminal post. The two hot lines of the service cord go to the P1 and P3 terminal block posts. The neutral should not be fused or broken. Be sure terminal block nuts are tight and replace access cover.

Canadian models are shipped with approved power cord sets attached.

G.F.I.

If the electric dryer is protected by a GROUND FAULT INTERRUPTER, follow the procedure on the next page for a 4-wire hook-up.
