Electrical
Connection
To
properly
install
your
dryer,
you
must
determine
the
type
of
electrical
connection
you
will
be
using
and
follow
the
instructions
provided
for
it
here.
This
dryer
is
manufactured
ready
to
install
with
a
3-wire
electrical
supply
connection.
The
neutral
ground
conductor
is
permanently
connected
to
the
neutral
conductor
(white
wire)
within
the
dryer.
If
the
dryer
is
installed
with
a
4-wire
electrical
supply
connection,
the
neutral
ground
conductor
must
be
removed
from
the
external
ground
connector
(green
screw),
and
secured
under
the
neutral
terminal
(center
or
white
wire)
of
the
terminal
block.
When
the
neutral
ground
conductor
is
secured
under
the
neutral
terminal
(center
or
white
wire)
of
the
terminal
block,
the
dryer
cabinet
is
isolated
from
the
neutral
conductor.
If
local
codes
do
not
permit
the
connection
of
a
neutral
ground
wire
to
the
neutral
wire,
see
“Optional
3-wire
connection”
section.
A
4-wire
power
supply
connection
must
be
used
when
the
appliance
is
installed
in
a
location
where grounding
through
the
neutral
conductor
is
prohibited.
Grounding
through
the
neutral
is
prohibited
for
(1)
new
branch-circuit
installations,
(2)
mobile
homes,
(8)
recreational
vehicles,
and
(4)
areas
where
local
codes
prohibit
grounding
through
the
neutral
conductor.
