Three-wire connection for electric dryers: Direct wire
• A 3-wire connection is NOT permitted on new construction after
January 1, 1996.
• A UL-listed strain relief is required.
1. Remove 3
1
⁄₂ inches (8.9 cm) of the outer covering from the wire.
Strip 1 inch (2.5 cm) insulation from each wire. Bend the ends of
the three wires into a hook shape.
2. Remove the terminal block access cover on the upper back of
the dryer. Install a UL-listed strain relief into the power cord
through-hole; then thread the power cable prepared in Step 1
through the strain relief.
• Use UL-listed  conductor
cable.
• Allow at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) length to allow for removal and
reinstallation of the dryer.
3. Attach the two hot leads of the power cord to the outer
terminal block screws. Attach the neutral wire to the center
terminal block screw. Connect the external ground (if required
by local codes) to the green ground screw. 
