Electric Heated Models
When local codes allow, the electrical supply of the dryer 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.
The electrical input connections are made into the rear service compartment of the dryer.
All electrically heated dryers are 120/208V,120/240V single-phase that require grounding of neutral
wire and ground. A ground lug has been provided for this purpose, see Figure A.
Note that machines sold in Canada are factory-equipped with a power cord and four-prong plug,
see Figure B.
CAUTION: A 4-conductor cord shall be used when the appliance is installed in a location
where grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited. 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 conductors.
Input connection wiring must be properly sized to carry the dryer’s current draw. This information
is printed on the dryer’s data label. Electrically heated dryers are not equipped with a line cord
from the factory. A suitable line cord must be provided by the installer. The dryer’s input terminal
block includes a bonding jumper wire between the neutral wire terminal of the power-input terminal
block and chassis of the machine. This bonding jumper MUST be removed for four wire line cord
connection. Refer to local and national codes for specic connection requirements.
