CONNECTING AN ELECTRIC DRYER (cont.)
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR
ELECTRIC DRYERS
This dryer must be connected to an
individual branch circuit, protected by the
required time-delay fuses or circuit breakers.
A three- or four-wire, single phase, 120/240V
or 120/208V, 60Hz, 30-amp circuit is required.
If the electric supply does not meet the above
specifications, then call a licensed electrician.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This 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
appliance.
CONNECTING DRYER POWER
CORD
NOTE: Since January 1, 1996, the
National Electrical Code requires that new
constructions utilize a 4-wire connection to
an electric dryer. A 4-wire cord must also
be used where local codes do not permit
grounding through the neutral.
3-wire connection is NOT for use on new
construction.
Remove the terminal block access cover
located at the upper back.
A
For 3-wire and 4-wire Connection:
Install a UL-listed strain relief into the
power cord entry hole beneath the
terminal block. Thread a UL-listed 30A,
240V, 3-wire or 4-wire, #10 AWG minimum
copper conductor power cord through
the strain relief.

For 3-wire and 4-wire Connection:
