4-wire connection: Direct Wire
Direct wire cable must have 5 ft (1.52 m) of extra length so dryer
can be moved if needed.
Strip 5" (12.7 cm) of outer covering from end of cable, leaving
bare ground wire at 5" (12.7 cm). Cut 1¹⁄₂" (3.8 cm) from 3
remaining wires. Strip insulation back 1" (2.5 cm). Shape ends of
wires into a hook shape.
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. See example
