Part 6 ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR GAS DRYERS
120 Volt, 60 Hertz, with 3-Prong Grounding Plug
Following are additional instructions regarding electrical connections and requirements for gas dryers.
Warning: The wiring and grounding must conform to the latest edition of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1, and all applicable local regulations. Please contact a
qualified electrician to check your hom’s wiring and fuses to ensure that your home has adequate electrical power
to operate the dryer. Failure to do so can result in fire or electrical shock.
Electrical Requirements for Your Dryer:
!
a) Please note that the wiring diagram is provided
inside the dryer control hood. Label all wires
prior to disconnection when servicing the dryer,
because wiring errors can cause serious injury to
you and your dryer.
b) Your dryer is designed to be used on a separate
branch, polarized, three-wire, effectively
grounded, 120 Volt, 60 Hertz, AC (alternating
current) circuit protected by a 15 Ampere fuse,
equivalent fuse or circuit breaker.
c) Use separately fused circuits for washers and
dryers, and DO NOT operate a washer and a
dryer on the same circuit.
a) The dryer has a three-prong plug to help guard
against shock. The plug should be plugged
directed into a properly grounded three-prong
receptacle that is rated 120 Volts AC (alternating
current) 15 Amps. This plug, in order to be
properly and fully effective, must be plugged into
a properly installed outlet that is grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
b) The dryer must be grounded in order to reduce
the risk of electric shock, including a
malfunction or breakdown.
c) If your laundry room does not meet the
specifications required by this manual, or if you
are uncertain whether or not your laundry room
meets these specifications, please have a
qualified service person or company.
Review your laundry room’s electrical supply for
any problems.
WARNING!
Do not overload the circuit by operating
other appliances on the same circuit when
this appliance is operating, by using an
extension cord to connect the dryer to the
power source, or by using any adapter to
allow additional cords to connect to the
same outlet.
Failure to do so can result in fire or
electrical shock.

electrical shock.
