ELECTRIC DRYER POWER HOOKUP

Electrical Requirements

It is your responsibility

If your outlet looks like this:

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:

4-wire receptacle

(14-30R)

Then choose a 4-wire power supply cord

with ring or spade terminals and UL listed strain relief. The 4-wire power supply cord, at least 4 ft. (1.22 m) long, must have four 10-gauge copper wires and match a 4-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 14-30R. The ground wire (ground conductor) may be either green or bare.

The neutral conductor must be identified by a white cover.

National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park,

Quincy, MA 02269.

To supply the required 3 or 4 wire, single phase, 120/240 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.

Electrical Connection

To properly install your 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 conductors.

If using a power supply cord:

Use a UL listed power supply cord kit marked for use with clothes dryers. The kit should contain:

A UL listed 30-amp power supply cord, rated 120/240 volt minimum. The cord should be type SRD or SRDT and be at least 4 ft. (1.22 m) long. The wires that connect to the dryer must end in ring terminals or spade terminals with upturned ends.

A UL listed strain relief.

If your outlet looks like this:

Then choose a 3-wire power supply cord with ring or spade terminals and UL listed strain relief. The 3-wire power supply cord, at least 4 ft

(1.22 m) long, must have three 10-gauge copper wires and match a 3-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 10-30R.

3-wire receptacle

(10-30R)

If connecting by direct wire:

Power supply cable must match power supply (4-wire or 3-wire) and be:

Flexible armored cable or nonmetallic sheathed copper cable (with ground wire), protected with flexible metallic conduit. All current-carrying wires must be insulated.

10-gauge solid copper wire (do not use aluminum) at least 5 ft. (1.52 m) long.
