Prepare your 3-wire cable for direct connection

3-Wire Direct Wire Connection

IMPORTANT: Use where local codes permit connecting cabinet-ground conductor to neutral wire.

1. Prepare your 3-wire cable for direct connection

	1"
	(25	mm)
	(25
3½"
(89	mm)
	mm)

Direct wire cable must have 5 ft. (1.52 m) of extra length so washer/dryer may be moved

if needed.

Strip 31/2" (89 mm) of outer covering from

end of cable. Strip insulation back 1" (25 mm). If using 3-wire cable with ground wire, cut bare

wire even with outer covering. Shape wire ends into hooks.

When connecting to the terminal block, place the hooked end of the wire under the screw of the terminal block (hook facing right), squeeze hooked end together and tighten screw

2. Connect neutral wire

Remove center terminal block screw (A). Place the hooked end of the neutral wire (D) (white or center wire) of direct wire cable under the center screw of terminal block (A) (hook facing right). Squeeze hooked end together. Tighten screw

3. Connect other wires

Place the hooked ends of the other power supply cable wires under the outer terminal block screws (hooks facing right). Squeeze hooked ends together. Tighten screws.

4.Tighten strain relief screw.

5.Insert tab of terminal block cover into slot of dryer rear panel. Secure cover with hold-down screw.

6.You have completed your electrical connection. Now go to “Venting Requirements.”

Optional 3-Wire Connection

IMPORTANT: You must verify with a qualified electrician that this grounding method is acceptable before connecting.

1. Connect neutral ground wire and neutral wire

Remove center terminal block screw. Remove neutral ground wire (B) from external ground conductor screw (C). Connect neutral ground wire (B) and the neutral wire (D) (white or center wire) of power supply cord/cable under center, terminal block screw. Tighten screw.

2. Connect other wires

Connect the other wires to outer terminal block screws. Tighten screws.

3.Tighten strain relief screws.

4.Connect a separate copper ground wire from the external ground conductor screw to an adequate ground.
