Direct wire strain relief
Remove center terminal block screw (B). Remove neutral
ground wire (E) from green external ground conductor
screw (A).
Unscrew the removable conduit connector (A) and any
screws from a 3/4" (19 mm) UL listed strain relief (UL marking
on strain relief). Put the threaded section of the strain relief
(C) through the hole below the terminal block opening (B).
Reaching inside the terminal block opening, screw the
removable conduit connector (A) onto the strain relief threads
and tighten securely.
Put direct wire cable through the strain relief. The strain
relief should have a tight t with the dryer cabinet and be in
a horizontal position. Tighten strain relief screw against the
direct wire cable.
Direct wire cable must have 5 ft. (1.52 m) of extra length so
dryer may be moved if needed.
Strip 5" (127 mm) of outer covering from end of cable,
leaving bare ground wire at 5" (127 mm). Cut 1
