Whirlpool 3406449 installation instructions Zq$ 9l, Power supply cord

Electrical requirements

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is

recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.

Important: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

Power supply cord

Use a new 30-amp power supply cord. Local codes may permit the use of a U.L.-listed, 120/240-volt minimum, 30- ampere, dryer power supply cord kit (pigtail). Power supply cord should be Type SRD or SRDT and be at least four feet long. The wires that connect to the dryer must end with ring terminals or spade terminals with upturned ends. A 3/4”, U.L.-listed strain relief must be installed where the power supply cord connects to the dryer (see Figures 2 and 3).

Four-wire installation is

recommended: The power supply cord must have four, No.-1 0 copper wires and match a four-wire

receptacle of NEMA Type 14-30R (see Figure 4). The fourth wire (ground conductor) must be identified with a green cover and the neutral conductor by a white cover.

Three-wire installatton (it a four-wire system is not available): The power supply cord must have three, No.-1 0 copper wires to match a three-wire

receptacle of NEMA Type 1O-30R (see Figure 5).

A four-wire or three-wire, single-phase, 120/240-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only electrical supply (or four-wire or three-wire, 120/208-volt, if specified on the model/serial rating plate) is required on a separate, 30-ampere circuit, fused on both sides of the line. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is

recommended. The model/serial rating plate is located in the door well behind the dryer door on the front of the opening.

A wiring diagram is located inside the console or on back panel of dryer.

It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to contact a qualified electrician to assure that the electrical installation is adequate

and in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 - latest edition*, and all local codes and ordinances.

Direct wire

The dryer can be connected directly to fused disconnect or circuit breaker box with four-wire or three-wire flexible armored or non-metallic sheathed copper cable (with ground wire). Do Not use two-wire with bare

ground wire. All current-carrying wires must be insulated.

A U.L.-listed conduit connector must be installed at the junction box. USE ONLY lo-GAUGE SOLID COPPER WIRE. DO NOT USE ALUMINUM WIRE. Allow four feet of slack in the line so dryer can be moved if servicing is ever necessary.
