Direct wire
The washer/dryer can be connected
directly to fused disconnect or circuit
breaker box with four-wire or three-wire
flexible armored or non-metallic
sheathed copper cable (with ground
wire). Do Not use two-wire with bare
ground wire. All current-carrying wires
must be insulated.
A conduit connector must be installed
at junction box. USE ONLY 10-GAUGE
SOLID COPPER WIRE. DO NOT USE
ALUMINUM WIRE. Allow four feet of slack
in the line so dryer can be moved if
servicing is ever necessary.
This dryer is manufactured with the
cabinet-ground conductor connected
to the NEUTRAL (center) of the wiring
harness at the terminal block. If local
codes do NOT permit this type of
connection, use “Four-wire connection”
instructions.
GROUND INSTRUCTIONS: This appliance
must be grounded. In the event of
malfunction or breakdown, ground will
reduce the risk of electric shock by
providing a path of least resistance for
electric current.
If using a power supply cord, the plug
must be plugged into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
If using a direct wire connection, this
appliance must be connected to a
grounded metal, permanent wiring
system; or an equipment-ground
conductor must be run with the circuit
conductors and connected to the
equipment-ground terminal or lead on
the appliance.
WARNING - Improper connection of the
equipment-ground conductor can
result in a risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or
serviceman if you are in doubt as to
whether the appliance is properly
grounded. Do not modify the power
supply cord plug. If it will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.
If the house has aluminum wiring, follow
the procedure below:
a) Connect a section of 8 gauge solid
copper wire to the connector block.
b) Connect the aluminum wiring to the
added section of copper wire using
special connectors designed and
Underwriters Laboratories Listed for
joining copper to aluminum. Follow
the electrical connector
manufacturer's recommended
procedure.
c) Aluminum/copper connection must
conform with local codes and
industry accepted wiring practices.

receptacle(14-30R)
Figure 3
Four-wire installation is recommended
(required for mobile homes): The power
supply cord must have four, No.-10
copper wires and match a four-wire
receptacle of NEMA Type 14-30R (see
Figure 3). The fourth wire (ground
conductor) must be identified with a
green cover and the neutral conductor
by a white cover.
Three-wire installation (if a four-wire
system is not available): The power
supply cord must have three, No.-10
copper wires to match a three-wire
receptacle of NEMA Type 10-30R (see
Figure 4).

terminal block screw.
5. Connect the ground wire (green) of
the copper, four-wire power supply
cord to the external ground
connector.
6. Connect the neutral wire (white) of
the power supply cord to the
center, silver-colored terminal screw
of the terminal block. Connect the
other wires to the outer terminals.
Tighten screws firmly.

WARNING
Fire Hazard
Use a new UL approved 30 ampere
power supply cord.
Use a UL approved strain relief.
Disconnect power before making
electrical connections.
Connect neutral wire (white or center
wire) to center terminal (silver).
Ground wire (green or bare wire) must
be connected to green ground
connector.
Connect remaining 2 supply wires to
remaining 2 terminals (gold).
Securely tighten all electrical
connections.
Failure to do so can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
