Alternate exhaust
methods
The washer/dryer installed in a
mobile home
must
be exhausted
outside. When the dryer is exhausted
through the floor, the exhaust system
must
terminate outside the enclosed
area under the mobile home.
Extension beyond the mobile home
will prevent lint and moisture buildup
under the mobile home. See Figure 4.
Alternate electrical
connection
Electrical ground is required on this
appliance.
DANGER - Improper connection
of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in risk of
electric shock. Check with a
qualified electrician or service
technician if you are in doubt
as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug with the
appliance - if it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
Four-wire electrical
supply system
This appliance is manufactured with
a 30-amp-rated, four-wire, flexible
type power supply cord with the
green, grounding wire connected to
the internal, grounding connector,
(See Figure 7.)
To remove the power
supply cord -
Disconnect power supply.
1.
Remove the terminal block cover
from the dryer,
2. Disconnect the power supply cord
from the terminal block.
3. Disconnect the green grounding
wire of the power supply cord from
the internal grounding connector.
4. Loosen the two screws in the strain
relief.
5. Pull downward on the power
supply cord until it is removed from
the dryer.
Direct wiring
connection
1.
Strip outer covering back 3 inches
from the end exposing the 3 wires,
2. Strip the insulation back 1 inch
from the end of each wire. Form
the bare wire into a “U”shaped
hook.
Plain-end wiring
3.
Loosen, do not remove. screws
from terminal block. Attach wires
according to instructions for type
of connection needed.
4. Slide the end of each wire under
the screw head with the open side
of the hook on the right. Squeeze
the wire together to form a loop.
5. Tighten each screw firmly.
To
connect a separate
grounding wire -
Use grounding wire and clamp
assembly (Part No. 685463) or No. 10
gauge minimum copper grounding
wire. Connect grounding wire to a
grounded cold water pipe* with
the clamp and then to the external
grounding connector on the washer/
dryer.
Do not ground to a gas
supply pipe or hot water pipe.
Do
not connect the power supply cord
to electrical supply until the
appliance is permanently grounded.
No.4
Figure 6
*Grounded cold water pipe must
have metal continuity to electrical
ground and not be interrupted by
plastic, rubber or other electrical
insulating connectors such as
hoses, fittings, washer or gaskets
(including water meter or pump).
Any electrical insulating connector
should be jumped as shown in
Figure 6 with a length of No. 4 wire
securely clamped to bare metal
at both ends.
