Installation
Electrical connections
Before operating or testing, follow all grounding instructions in the "Grounding" section.
An individual branch (or separate) circuit serving only your dryer is recommended. DO NOT
USE AN EXTENSION CORD.
Gas models – U.S. and Canada
A 120 volt, 60 Hz AC approved electrical service, with a 15-ampere fuse or circuit breaker is
required.
Electric models – U.S. only
Most U.S. dryers require a 120 / 240 volt, 60 Hz AC approved electrical service. Some require
120 / 208 volt, 60 Hz approved electrical service. The electric service requirements can be
found on the data label located behind the door. A 30-ampere fuse or circuit breaker on both
sides of the line is required.
• If a power cord is used, the cord should be plugged into a 30-ampere receptacle.
• The power cord is NOT provided with U.S. electric model dryers.
WARNING
Risk of Electric Shock
When local codes allow, the dryer electrical supply may be connected by means of a new
power supply cord kit, marked for use with a dryer, that is U.L. listed and rated at a minimum
of 120/240 volts, 30-ampere with three No. 10 copper wire conductors terminated with
closed loop terminals, open-end spade lugs with turned up ends, or with tinned leads.
• Do not reuse a power supply cord from an old dryer. The power cord electric supply
wiring must be supported at the dryer cabinet by a suitable UL-listed strain relief.
• Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for (1) new branch-circuit
installations, (2) mobile homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and (4) areas where local codes
prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor. (Use a 4-prong plug for a 4 wire
receptacle, NEMA type 14-30R.)
Electric models – Canada Only
• A 120 / 240 volt, 60 Hz AC approved electrical service fused through a 30-ampere fuse
or circuit breaker on both sides of the line is required.
• All Canadian models are shipped with the power cord attached. The power cord should be
plugged into a 30-ampere receptacle.
NOTE
It is not permissible to convert a dryer in Canada to 208 volts.
