CONNECTING ELECTRIC DRYERS (continued)
Connect the power cord to the terminal block. Connect
each power cord wire to the terminal block screw that
has the same colored wire. For example, connect the
black power cord wire to the terminal block screw
with the black wire. Failure to follow these instructions
may result in a short or overload.
Four-Wire Power Cord
• A 4-wire connection is required for all
mobile and manufactured home installations,
as well as all new construction after
January 1, 1996.
• A UL-listed strain relief is required.
• Use a 30-amp, 240-volt, 4-wire, UL-listed power cord
with #10 AWG-minimum copper conductor and closed
loop or forked terminals with upturned ends.
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.
Thread a 30-amp, 240-volt, 4-wire, UL-listed power
cord with #10 AWG-minimum copper conductor
through the strain relief.
Transfer the neutral grounding wire from behind the
green ground screw to the center screw of the terminal
block.
Attach the two hot leads (black and red) of the power
cord to the outer terminal block screws.
Attach the power cord white neutral wire to the cen-
ter screw of the terminal block.
Attach the power cord ground wire to the green
ground screw.
TIGHTEN ALL SCREWS SECURELY.
Reinstall the terminal block access cover.
Attach the two hot leads (black and red) of the
power cord to the outer terminal block screws.
Attach the power cord neutral (white) wire to the center
terminal block screw.
Connect the external ground (if required by local
codes) to the green ground screw.
TIGHTEN ALL SCREWS SECURELY.
Reinstall the terminal block access cover.
Grounding through the neutral wire 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 wire.
Three-Wire Power Cord
• A 3-wire connection is NOT permitted on
new construction after January 1, 1996.
• A UL-listed strain relief is required.
• Use a 30-amp, 240-volt, 3-wire, UL-listed power cord
with #10 AWG-minimum copper conductor and closed
loop or forked terminals with upturned ends.
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.
Thread a 30-amp, 240-volt, 3-wire, UL-listed power
cord with #10 AWG-minimum copper conductor
through the strain relief.
